its usually 3 months freezing max for most freezers.
Go on the food standards agency website to get defrosting and cooking times. http://www.food.gov.uk

hmmm meat can usually be frozen for a month or so but thats it. it will still be good when defrosting after a couple of months but it will taste kinda bad from the freezer. dont ask its really weird! but you can freeze the meal for a month or so then u can defrost it and cook it easily. after two months if you do not have any use for the lamb meat then i advise you to throw it out. then maybe you can leave it to defrost about a day or two in hot water. then when it is unfrozen and soft you can cook it

3 months. I hope you cut it up first. It takes a long time for a leg to thaw.
