At what age are lambs usually weaned?

Lambs are typically weaned at around 3 months of age, which is a common practice in sheep management. At this age, lambs are mature enough to consume solid feed effectively and can generally sustain themselves without relying on their mother’s milk. Weaning at 3 months allows lambs to transition to a diet that supports their growth and development while minimizing the potential for health issues that can arise from nursing for too long, such as mastitis in ewes. This age also helps to optimize the reproductive cycle of the ewes, as it allows them to regain their body condition and prepare for future breeding more efficiently.
