What is lamb meat?

Meat from a sheep classified as a lamb?  That is, a young sheep.  If the permanent incisors have broken through, the animal becomes hogget and its carcass does not get stamped with the pink branding that has always given consumers the confidence that they are getting lamb.

Although tender and succulent, it has a pale appearance, and may be considered a little bland to the taste.
