It seems he has some hoggets up there with a rot of the feet, he and his man came back only to get a supply of the wash to treat them.' Apparently a hogget is a yearling sheep, and hog can mean a young sheep before its first shearing.

Try Chicken Run, too. A lamb is a lamb until its first birthday (which 60% of lambs in Zild don't get to celebrate - awwwwwwww!), it's a hogget for its second year (and is at its best eating then, but the consumers of the world are impatient beggars), is also called a two-tooth during that period too, is a four-tooth, six-tooth and eight-tooth roughly annually up to about four years old and is then mutton ....
