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.
