although you may find this is a English teacher's site, the meaning is right and agreed upon by many other sites.
It could mean that its time to eat supper (sheep meat) in common sense..
However in this case Odysseus(aka beggar) is signaling Telemachus to get the weapons and its time to kill the suitors.
Hope that helped!
