I think what is sold at the store is closer to mutton than lamb.  I 
think the animal can be almost 2 years old and still technically called 
lamb, but in my mind, a lamb is under a year old.  When buying lamb at 
the store, I pick the smallest leg.

I ate my wethers, and I believe they were more gamey/strong than either 
my lamb or deer.
