A young sheep is referred to as a "lamb" until it reaches 20 weeks. After that, it is usually referred to as simply "sheep".

For the meat of sheep:

"lamb" is the meat from sheep under 1 year of age

"hogget" is meat from a juvenile 1 year of age but not yet adult

"mutton" is meat from an adult sheep

See the appended link for more definitions of sheep by age.
