You said it. A lamb is the young offspring of sheep. The term "baby lamb" may be applied to certain lamb meat in some jurisdictions.
- Hogget: an immature sheep past the 'baby' stage; what we call an adolescent
- Ewe: a mature female sheep
- Ram: a mature male sheep
- Wether: a mature male sheep that has been castrated
--------------
- Lamb - a young sheep under 12 months of age which does not have any permanent incisor teeth in wear
- That's why God in The Bible *Exodus, had the people bring in a Lamb (being under a year) into their homes on the 10th of Nisan(Aviv).
- Hogget - a sheep of either sex having no more than two permanent incisors in wear[4]
- Mutton - a female (ewe) or castrated male (wether) sheep having more than two permanent incisors in wear.
In Australia and Saudi Arabia the definitions are extended to include ewes and rams, as well as being stricter on the definition for lamb, which is:
- Lamb - 0 permanent incisors; female or castrate entire male ovine 0-12 months (note that the Australian definition requires 0 permanent incisors, whereas the New Zealand definition allows 0 incisors 'in wear'.)
Under current United States federal regulations, only the term 'lamb' is used:
- Lamb - ovine animals of any age, including ewes and rams[5]
