Lamb, hmmmm?  I have a recipe for stuffed calf head, I have a recipe for 
stuffed kid's head... no lamb.  Sorry.

Actually, there seem to be very few period recipes for lamb, although 
there are many for mutton, and quite a few for kid and calf.  I would 
surmise that this is because adult sheep of both genders are productive, 
in a way that goats and cattle are not.  Anyone who is wise in medieval 
animal husbandry wish to comment?
