Lesley Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 We trimmed the sheeps feet today......and discovered that one of our 'bought in' ewes is actually a ram lamb We though it was supposed to be a boy - but could never see any evidence. This is the first time they've been turned over for any foot treatment. We completely forgot that most ram lambs are castrated at a few hours old because it is impossible to do with Shetlands ............and our Shetland ram lambs are quite obviously boys and can be told apart from the ewe lambs from quite a distance He's booked in at the abattoir next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 He did actually say that he thought that one was a boy - we just thought we'd misheard The only problem we have now is that we don't have any room in any of the freezers.........I must start emailing people I know........
