Editing Lamb and mutton (section)

=== Britain, Australia, and New Zealand ===
;Lamb: A young sheep which is less than one year old. From 1 July 2019, the Australian definition is, "an ovine animal that: (a) is under 12 months of age, or (b) does not have any permanent [[Incisor|incisor teeth]] in wear". This new definition meant that Australian farmers could extend the term "lamb" by another month.<ref name=SPA>[http://sheepproducers.com.au/lamb-definition/ "Australia's New Definition of Lamb – What You Need to Know"] (4 July 2019). ''SheepProducers.com.au''. Retrieved 28 September 2019.</ref> This followed a similar definition change in New Zealand in 2018. In Britain the definition is still "0 permanent incisor teeth". A permanent incisor tooth is said to be '''"in wear"''' if it protrudes further than the nearest [[Deciduous teeth|milk teeth]].<ref name=SPA/>
