What is a female sheep called?

An adult male sheep is known as a ram (or, in some areas, a tup); a castrated male sheep is called a wether. An adult female sheep is called a ewe (pronounced yooh), or - at lambing time - a dam, and a baby sheep of either sex is a lamb.Where necessary to list gender of infant sheep, they are referred to as ewe lambs or ram lambs.A sheep aged between lamb and shearing age is known as a hogget; the title depends on when they cut their first permanent incisors, though the name also involves various factors important to sheep farmers.


How old are sheep when they can be milked?

That depends on the age of the ewe at breeding. Though a ewe can be bred at 6 months old, she needs to be of 80% of her adult weight. Gestation is 5 months, so IF a ewe were bred at 6 months of age, the earliest milking could take place is just under a year. Most breeders are going to wait, however; so a better calculation would be at 1-1/2 to 2 years of age.
