The terms lamb, hoggett or mutton are used to describe the meat of a domestic sheep. The meat of a sheep a year old or younger is generally known as lamb, whereas the meat of an older sheep is either hoggett or mutton depending on its age and characteristics. In some countries all such meat is referred to as lamb. All of these are known generically as sheepmeats.

from the French for sheep.
When the normans came to england they ate the meat, so gave it french names, and the saxon english serfs looked after the animals.
so cows in the field becomes beef (beof) on the norman plate and sheep became mutton.
