Anyone who goes for a walk in the countryside at this time of year will probably come across a field of new born lambs. If you listen to a conversation, it will go like:
Baby lamb: Baaa!
Mother sheep: Baaa!
The difference is that the mother’s voice is an octave or two below that of the lamb. Which brings me to my question. Do the voices of lambs break? If so, does it happen to both boy lambs and girl lambs?

Re: Lambs' voices
I have an idea boy lambs don't grow old enough for their voices to mature. At least not in the kind of environment where you or I would see them.

Re: Lambs' voices
Back in the seventies, I stayed in Lundy Island for about four days, sleeping in the old lighthouse.
In the morning the whole area around the lighthouse was covered with sheep and the racket was deafening.
According to a local, the sheep were trying to regroup into 'families(?)'.
If that is true, there must be much greater variations in tones/patterns than the ones mentioned in this thread, even if we cannot tell.
