What is the term for a young male sheep?

The term for a young male sheep is specifically referred to as a "ram lamb." In sheep terminology, a "lamb" generally denotes a young sheep, which can refer to either sex before reaching maturity. However, when distinguishing between genders, "ram lamb" is used to explicitly describe a young male, distinguishing it from female lambs, which are known as "ewe lambs." This specificity is important in animal husbandry and breeding contexts.

The other terms in the list refer to different things: "ewe" refers to an adult female sheep, "kid" refers to a young goat, and "lamb" is a general term that does not specify the sex of the sheep. Understanding these terms helps in effectively communicating about different types and ages of sheep in agricultural settings.
