WHAT DOES LAMBING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lambing

Domestic sheep reproduction

As with other mammals, domestic sheep reproduction occurs sexually. Their reproductive strategy is very similar to other domestic herd animals. A flock of sheep is generally mated by a single ram, which has either been chosen by a farmer or has established dominance through physical contest with other rams. Most sheep have a breeding season in the autumn, though some are able to breed year-round. Largely as a result of the influence of humans in sheep breeding, ewes often produce multiple lambs. This increase in the lamb births, both in number and birth weight, may cause problems in delivery and lamb survival, requiring the intervention of shepherds.

Definition of lambing in the English dictionary

The definition of lambing in the dictionary is the birth of lambs. Other definition of lambing is the shepherd's work of tending the ewes and newborn lambs at this time.
