Bárányok

Bárányok refers to young sheep. Typically, a lamb is considered a sheep under one year of age. Lambs are born in the spring and are weaned from their mothers in the summer. They are known for their wool, which is used for clothing and other textiles. Lamb meat is also a popular food source in many cultures.

The term "bárány" can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who is innocent, meek, or easily led. This is often seen in religious contexts, where lambs are associated with gentleness and sacrifice. For example, in Christianity, Jesus is referred to as the "Lamb of God."

The development of a lamb from birth to adulthood involves several stages. After birth, lambs rely on their mother's milk for nourishment. As they grow, they begin to graze on grass and other vegetation. Weaning occurs when they are able to digest solid food independently. Male lambs are called rams or buck lambs, while female lambs are called ewes or ewe lambs. Uncastrated male sheep are called rams, while castrated male sheep are called wethers.

Lambs are social animals and typically live in flocks. They communicate through bleating sounds. Their vulnerability as young animals makes them prey for various predators, leading to strong maternal instincts in ewes. The care and management of lambs are important aspects of sheep farming.
