Baby lamb and lamb are two different grades of meat. Baby lamb meat comes from a six to eight week old lamb that is purely milk fed. Spring lambs also fall under the baby lamb category, but are usually three to five months old. Traditional lamb meat comes from a lamb that is less than 12 months old. Because baby lamb is so young and is only fed milk, the meat is incredibly tender. Baby lamb meat is prized for succulent, tender and mild-tasting dishes. Add this to my Recipe Box. - by eHow
