from wiki:
The meat of an animal in its first year is lamb; that of an older sheep is hogget and later mutton.

Interesting - never heard of hogget.
Over here we almost always eat lamb, unless you are eating in an Indian restaurant; the longer cooking times used in marinated recipes mean mutton can be used. It comes under the term gosht, which can mean lamb, mutton or even beef.

I've never heard of hogget either.
But then we don't cotton to them stinkin' sheep punchers and their root pullin' sheep, 'round these parts anyway.

We get most of our sheeps from Wales or from New Zealand.
They come with a nice salty basting, if you know what I mean...

I don't understand why a country foreign to an animal would think it should give the animal protection. It seems a bit odd.

Over here, most introduced species are hunted all year round in an effort (failing) to eradicate introduced animals. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any introduced species which are protected under Australian law.

Oh, and I'm still dumbfounded that mtp has never tried lamb or mutton! That was two years ago though. I wonder if things have changed...

It's fucking stupid, brought to you by asshole vegans.

We do have deer here which are protected from hunting in that there is a bag limit of two, but they're still classed as a Class 3 pest which means you can't feed them or encourage them, but as a land holder you're not required to eliminate them by law.

I understand there was another large volunteer cane toad cull just this week.
Although from what I gather that's another species whose eradication is pretty much year round.

They're worst in the summer, and you can go out and kill 20 or 30 in an hour or so without too much trouble if you live in the northern states. They tend to hibernate a bit in the winter when you get a bit south, but they're still around if you look a bit harder. They're easy to find all year round right up north though. They're a menace and should be eliminated.
