Sheep meat prepared for food is known as either mutton or lamb. Throughout modern history, “mutton” has been limited to the meat of mature sheep usually at least two years of age; “lamb” is used for that of immature sheep less than a year. Sheep meat and milk were one of the earliest staple proteins consumed by humans. (Wikipedia)
