Lamb
"Mutton" redirects here. For goat meat used interchangeably with mutton, see Goat meat. For other uses, see Mutton (disambiguation).
Lamb, hogget, and mutton are the meat of domestic sheep. The meat of an animal in its first year is lamb; that of an older sheep is hogget and later mutton.
Because of dramatically differing economic values of each type of animal (lamb being the most expensive), classification systems have developed to ensure consumers receive the product they have purchased. The strict definitions for lamb, hogget and mutton vary considerably between countries. In New Zealand for example, they are defined as follows:
• Lamb - a young sheep under 12 months of age which does not have any permanent incisor teeth in wear
• Hogget - a young male sheep or maiden ewe having no more than two permanent incisors in wear
• Mutton - a female (ewe) or castrated male (wether) sheep having more than two permanent incisors in wear.
In Australia 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'.)
The younger the lamb is, the smaller the lamb will be, however, the meat will be more tender. Sheep mutton is meat from a sheep over two years old, and has a less tender flesh. In general, the darker the colour, the older the animal. Baby lamb meat will be pale pink, while regular lamb is pinkish-red.
Other definitions include:
• Lamb - a young sheep that is less than one year old
• Baby lamb - a milk-fed lamb between six and eight weeks old
• Spring lamb - a milk-fed lamb, usually three to five months old, born in late winter or early spring and sold usually before July 1st
• Yearling lamb - a young sheep between 12 and 24 months old.
