Shepherd's pie uses lamb or mutton, Cottage pie uses beef. Fight me.

I learned this years ago when on vacation. I ordered it from a restaurant, not realizing, and I couldn't eat it. I use ground pork in mjne.

This region generally refers to shepherds pie as being made with beef. Have the distinction you have. That's fine. But it doesn't change what we call shepherds pie. No one needs to fight. It's just different parts of the world having different definitions
