I think it is either lamb or kanagroo.

an older sheep...


edit...by that i mean mature rather than baby.

its fully grown lamb..
usually not as tender or sweet tasting as young lamb...
it has a gamy smell when cooked
I live in the middle east and lamb is our main choice of meat here..
So usually when someone shops for a sheep, they go for the young ones, ie: lamb... so if someone sells you a fully mature sheep, its called mutton...

Lamb

sheep

It is lamb and quite popular in the UK. Very tasty in my opinion.

sheepmeat.

Mutton is actually goat meat.
The terms lamb, hoggett or mutton are culinary names for the meat of a domestic sheep. The meat of a sheep a year old or younger is generally known as lamb, whereas the meat of an older sheep is either hoggett or mutton depending on its age and characteristics. All of these are known generically as sheepmeats.

Lamb is under one year old.
Mutton are over a year old and the taste is gamier and tough as shoe leather if you cook it too hot and too long.

You have to cook lamb slow to maintain tenderness and mutton even longer.

Mutton is mature sheep meat, unlike lamb meat, which is from young sheep of less than one year,
In India Ram (MALE SHEEP) is prefered choice.

Mutton is meat from an adult sheep.

It is NOT goat meat.

pork came from pig, it is a meat of a pig.
