As a member of the family Bovidae, sheep are related to antelopes, cattle, muskoxen and goats. All of these mammals are even-toed ungulates — their hooves are cloven, or split into two toes. They are also ruminants — their stomachs have multiple chambers to aid digestion.
1In English, there are many different names for these wool producing animals and their meat. 2A male sheep is called a ram, while a female sheep is called an ewe. 3The flavorful red meat of a mature sheep is called mutton, while the tender pinkish meat of a young sheep is called lamb. 4Sheep are also named based on their breeds, who include Corriedale, Hampshire, Karakul, etc. 5Furthermore, an herd of rams is called a bachelor herd, while an herd of ewes is called a nursery herd.
Sheep were first domesticated from wild species of sheep at least 7000 years ago, and their ancient remains have been found at numerous sites of early human settlement in the Middle East, Europe, and Central Asia. Domesticated sheep are raised for their fleece (wool), for milk, and for meat. …. The wool is then cleaned and sold to tailors or fashion companies. Moreover, farmers procure their milk and meat to be sold for human consumption.
