Yeah, it's like with the human term "child". A child is anything from birth until age 12 or so. There's quite a bit of a difference in that age range.

For sheep, a lamb is anything up to roughly a year.

In fact, sheep enter puberty at ~3-4 months, so a lamb will usually be slaughtered during puberty.
