A lamb is a young sheep. In sheep husbandry, a lamb is a sheep less than one year old and yearlings are known as hoggets, and from this age on a domestic sheep is considered to be adult.
Lambs are especially prized for their soft woollen hide (sheepskin) and for their meat (also called lamb).
Lambs are central to Abrahamic religion, being sacrificed both literally and metaphorically. The latter is exemplified in Jesus often being referred to as the "Lamb of God" for his martyrdom. (See Sacrificial lamb)
