A black fleece is caused by a recessive gene, so if a white ram and a white ewe are each heterozygous for black, about one in four of their lambs will be black. In most white sheep breeds, only a few white sheep are heterozygous for black, so black lambs are usually much rarer than this.
Ram is the name given to a male sheep, and female sheep are called Ewes. Lambs are baby sheep, but whether lamb, ewe, or ram, they are all the same animal! The main difference between a male and female sheep is that while females may have horns, the males are significantly longer and thicker.
Lamb vs sheep
Lamb is the name given to the meat from a young sheep, and is also the name given to the animals themselves, up until one year of age. After this, lambs are referred to as hoggets, but the meat will sometimes still be sold as “lamb”.
Hogget' refers to animals between 1-2 years old, and is a delicious combination of tender lamb and full-flavoured mutton. Hogget can be cooked hot and quick like lamb, or low and slow – anywhere in between and it might toughen up.
A male lamb is called a ram lamb and a female lamb is called a ewe lamb. The newborn lambs weigh 8-10 pounds and are often born in the very early morning.
Lamb is meat from a young sheep, usually under a year to eighteen months old, while mutton comes from an older sheep, often three years old or more.
