A baby sheep is referred to as a lamb, an adult female as a ewe (/Ju/), a **castrated **male as a wether (sometimes a tup), and an intact **male **as a ram.
The **wild **mouflon of Europe and Asia are likely the **ancestors **of sheep, with Iran serving as the geographic **boundary **for the domestication core.
For finding the total **number **of **white sheep **in the flock:
