By smell and by sound - if you watch lambs and their mothers they will make little baa noises to be able to identify each other. The ewe also cleans the lamb when it is born so 'tastes' its smell and remembers.

What do lambs drink?

Lambs will drink milk from their mothers until they are 6 to 9 months old. During that time lambs will develop and grow so that their stomaches will cope with eating grass, hay, silage or whatever feed there is for them to eat. Orphan lambs can be hand raised on a powered milk formula that can be purchased easily. As they grow they will progress onto normal food that any other sheep eat. Hope that helps.
