A lamb is "un agneau" (so its masculine) for the animal, but if you are talking about the kind of lamb you eat, it is "le mutton" (also masculine).
It was to be a yearling male lamb or billy goat (Exodus 12). See also:More about Passover
A baby sheep, regardless of gender, is called a "lamb." It's mother is known as a "ewe," and it's father is called a "ram."
No. A ram is an adult male sheep and a lamb is a young baby sheep. The meat of a ram is a lot tougher than the meat of a lamb because of the age difference. In defining young sheep the general term is lamb, but the specific terms, ram lamb and ewe lamb are used to define the gender of the young animal.
This will vary depending on the exact animal - below are some of the more common farm animals. Horse: foal (gender neutral), filly (female), colt (male) Cow: calf (gender neutral), heifer (female), bull calf (male) Pig: piglet (gender neutral), gilt (female) Sheep: lamb (gender neutral) Goat: kid (gender neutral) Chicken/Turkey: chick (gender neutral) Cat: kitten (gender neutral) Dog: puppy (gender neutral)
There is no distinction in product names for sheep based upon gender. Meat from a young sheep or lamb is called "lamb" or "spring lamb". Meat from an older sheep, male or female, is called "mutton".
The specific term for a female little lamb is "une agnelle" (fem.) in French. That term is rarely used. The generally used term for a young of a sheep is "un agneau" (masc.). You would use "agneau" when the gender of the young lamb is irrelevant, or when it is a male lamb as well.
The female sheep is a ewe; the male is a ram.
Veal is a calf. Lamb is a lamb.
A lamb is adorable. A lamb is afraid of other animals. Lamb is appetizing.
A Wether lamb is a castrated male lamb.
