Hey thanks Almost Special! We put out a video every week, lately on sheep since we are deep in the heart of breeding season right now. Check them out when you have the chance and tell me what you think!
Thanks 😊 i was wanting to know the difference and i found your channel 😊 and if you will have a video sometime in the future about the characteristics of sheep ...it will help me in my bible study 😊 God bless you and your family from philippines
"kids" are goats. I hope and pray I'm a lamb and feel like I'm turning into a sheep. 😁🙏 Starting to understand The Bible more. This video helps me to as well.
Hi, thank you for sharing with us the difference , it truly gives a good classification. Can you please also let us know the difference between and goat and a sheep? From a consumption perspective which meat is 'tougher' , I understand the way we process cattle, we get tougher meat when we don't process it humanely or if the cattle is in stress. but overall if they are processed humanely, which is tougher than the other. Thank you.
From what we have eaten, sheep and goat are very similar. The difference is in the age of the animal, older is tougher but will have more flavor. Younger is more tender, more mild in flavor and usually more expensive per pound than meat from an older animal. This is the same for both sheep and goats. Sheep and goats put on fat differently, so if you like a juicier meat, go with lamb. Thanks for watching!
At 0:01 - 0:10, my answer to her question was simple, a lamb is simply a young sheep not grown up yet. But I do realize that the rest of the video still explores how there's more details to it than just that. Interesting video
Lol ain't that true. Jesus said feed my lambs then said after feed my sheep, that's why I was curious. Now I need to know the difference spiritually. Between lamb and sheep. Thanks for posting this.
As a dog enthusiast I must ask what kind of dog do you use to guard/herd your lamb. Is it an old English sheepdog? Or border collie? Maybe the great pyrenees
We do not use a guardian dog right now, as long as we use the electric netting the predators seem to stay out. If that changes, we'll look into getting one or two, something similar to the great Pyrenees
I'm sorry the way theyre all just standing staring at you at first Is hilarious. It reminded me of children of the damned, like they were deciding if they could trust you or not 😂 then the baby lamb talking and the others responding, so much personality, gotta love animals
Lambs are called sheep when they are one year old. You can tell by looking at their teeth, they get adult teeth to replace baby teeth just like people do. When the first 2 adult teeth are in they are sheep, this happens at one year of age.
I visited a sheep farm yesterday, which occasioned my coming across this video. The farmer with whom I spoke markets the meat. What he told me is that he doesn't market sheep meat (mutton) but only lamb meat. According to his standard, the difference between sheep and lamb is puberty. When they slaughter the Lambs, at about 8 months, there's a double joint in the hoof. Once the animal has been slaughtered, that area is broken (called "breaking lamb"). If that double joint has calcified, that is a sign that the lamb transitioned to a sheep, and cannot be considered, from a culinary standpoint, as lamb. Could you speak to that?
In our area, age is determined by teeth that come in at around 12 months, maybe more for the sake of buyers vs folks that raise and market their own meat (since teeth are easy to see on the live animal). I see what the farmer you spoke with was talking about (as far as puberty being before a year old), that's just different than how lambs vs sheep are determined around here.
Hey Vj j! Mutton is the word for meat from sheep older than one year of age. Goat meat is called chevon, but most folks just say goat. Or cabrito if they mean younger goats around 6 months old. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes lambs are ladies (sometimes not), but rams are always dudes! Lambs are sheep under a year old regardless of gender. The word "lamb" refers only to age. A ewe lamb is a female lamb and a ram lamb is a male lamb. Most farmers would just say lambs and refer to all young lambs as a group. Once the lambs are more than a year old they are all sheep, called ewes for females and rams for males. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing the information!
Came here to aide my Bible study on why Jesus is called the lamb of God
Thank you for making this video! Explained it very clearly, I hope you make more content.

Thanks for this informative video
Thanks for this...and wow looks beautiful super peaceful out there. 🙏
You're right, it is peaceful here, we love that about the farm. Thanks for watching!
This really did sum it up for me Me and my son were just randomly thinking about the sounds and how they’re alike
So glad you and your son liked the video, Vee Jay! Thanks for watching!
In Spanish we don't have two separate words for these, so I always just used the word interchangeably. I'm glad I finally know the difference
Yes there are two separate words in Spanish, cordero (lamb) vs oveja (sheep).
Very informative content mam now i know the diferrence between the lamb and Sheep❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! We're headed into lambing season in late April/early May with the main flock, check back for more lambs!
Will do I would like to see one up close
Wow! You are so blessed.
Thank you! Lambs always brighten up the day!
❤I love it so much😊❤❤

Thank you, glad you liked it!
a deer video brought me searching up lamb vs sheep
Wow all my life I thought it was the same animal..
Do they become sheep at one years old or at two or some where In-between?
Lambs are called sheep when they are one year old. You can tell by looking at their teeth, they get adult teeth to replace baby teeth just like people do. When the first 2 adult teeth are in they are sheep, this happens at one year of age.

I see my friend in this video! Please respond :D
Wow
This is the best review for that shitty Lamb (2021) movie that I've seen
They are communicating I wonder what they saying to each other
👍🏿
Aquarius is a lamb on birthsign issue and water bearer
Mutton we generically we say it.. but does it refers to sheep meat or Goat?
Hey Vj j! Mutton is the word for meat from sheep older than one year of age.
Goat meat is called chevon, but most folks just say goat. Or cabrito if they mean younger goats around 6 months old. Thanks for watching!
@@familyfarmlivestock4949 thank you
A five minute video for a two second answer.
So what meat creates tin mutton
Older sheep, at least over 1 year old
A lamb is a baby sheep?
Yes. Lamb is the word for any sheep under 1 year of age, from newborns on up.
@@familyfarmlivestock4949 😎😎😎😎😎😎
There not two different animals 🤯
*😆 sheep vs lamb introduced by a goat woman 😂*
2:02 Cows are never called lamb, no matter how young they are!!
Lambs are ladies & rams are dudes?🤔
Sometimes lambs are ladies (sometimes not), but rams are always dudes!
Lambs are sheep under a year old regardless of gender. The word "lamb" refers only to age.
A ewe lamb is a female lamb and a ram lamb is a male lamb. Most farmers would just say lambs and refer to all young lambs as a group.
