Haha my daughter asked me last week what the difference was, I honestly did not know

I can see where they get the shepherd from. i.e., Shepherds have lambs. But how many cottages have cows?

Wiki to the rescue

Cottage pie or shepherd's pie is a meat pie with a crust of mashed potato.[1][2][3][4]
The term cottage pie is known to have been in use in 1791,[2][5][6] when the potato was being introduced as an edible crop affordable for the poor (cf. "cottage" meaning a modest dwelling for rural workers).
In early cookery books, the dish was a means of using leftover roasted meat of any kind, and the pie dish was lined with mashed potato as well as having a mashed potato crust on top.[7][8]
The term "shepherd's pie" did not appear until 1877,[2] and since then it has been used synonymously with "cottage pie", regardless of whether the principal ingredient was beef or mutton.[1][4][6][7][8][9][10] More recently, the term "shepherd's pie" has been used when the meat is lamb,[11][12] the theory being that shepherds are concerned with sheep[13] and not cattle[14][15][16] (see folk etymology).

Utterly preposterous that mince pies are not sold all year round. Best little cakey type treat around. In the absence of cherry bakewells that is.
