However, there are some factors that can influence this:
* Breed: Some breeds, like the Suffolk, are known to wean earlier than others.
* Management: Farmers may wean lambs earlier if they are preparing them for market or if they need to manage pasture resources.
* Health: Lambs that are healthy and strong may wean sooner than those that are weaker or sick.
Important note: While lambs may start eating solid food earlier, they still need their mother's milk for crucial nutrients during the first few months.
