hogget
One-year-old sheep
A hogget is a young sheep between one and two years old—past lamb stage but not yet a fully mature sheep.
The term is used primarily in British, Australian, and New Zealand farming contexts.
Hogget meat, from animals of this age, is considered more flavorful than lamb but more tender than mutton.
