But is it really always meat from baby sheep? In my native language we call it 'sheep meat'.

I've also visited a farm where they slaughtered their own sheep and that was an animal that was a couple of years old. I must admit that I found the taste of that meat pretty strong and not so pleasant but I'm generally not really into lamb anyway.

In English the young animal and its meat are both called lamb, but the mature animal is a sheep and its meat is called mutton.
