Etymology

The term 'lambing' originates from the Old English word 'lamb', which meant a young sheep. The practice of lambing has been a part of agriculture for centuries, coinciding with the domestication of sheep. The tradition of sheep herding and breeding has deep roots in various cultures, particularly in pastoral societies. Lambing typically occurs in the spring when the seasonโ€™s warmer temperatures and renewed grass growth provide an ideal environment for both ewes and their young. Over time, different shepherding practices evolved, and lambing became a vital stage in wool and meat production. The term has remained fairly consistent in meaning, reflecting the timelessness of agricultural practices.
