Spring time brings lambs, and these little guys are born scrawny! A newborn lamb is little more than bone and skin, which makes it especially important that they find their mother and nurse right away.
Because the newborn sheep are so thin, it’s perfect that their mothers produce milk that is twice as high in fat and protein as cow milk. The little lambs need the nourishment!
Another interesting fact about sheep’s milk is that it’s unique composition makes it much more productive to make cheese from sheep’s milk than from cow’s milk. You may have sampled some delicious sheep’s milk cheese, and if not, you should try it!
