Lamb, mutton, and hogget (UK, New Zealand and Australia) are the meat of domestic sheep. The meat of a sheep in its first year is lamb; that of a juvenile sheep older than 1 year is hogget; and the meat of an adult sheep is mutton.
Distinct from the meat, a lamb also describes a live juvenile sheep, which may or may not be used for its meat. In Australia, the term prime lamb is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat.
