No. A ram is an adult male sheep and a lamb is a young baby sheep. The meat of a ram is a lot tougher than the meat of a lamb because of the age difference.

In defining young sheep the general term is lamb, but the specific terms, ram lamb and ewe lamb are used to define the gender of the young animal.

The difference between a lamb and a goat is that a lamb is a completely different breed of animal from a goat. Though both have some of the same characteristics.
