Live sheep before the age of one year, and the flesh of such animals. The flesh of the mature ram or ewe at least one year old is called mutton; the meat of sheep 12–20 months old may be called yearling mutton.

The primary lamb- and mutton-consuming countries (on a per capita basis) are New Zealand and Australia.
