Will be watching for the rest of your lambs to arrive. I am not a sheep person so can you share as to why the tails are docked? I have know since I was young that they are done, just have never known why.

The main reason that tails are docked is for sanitary reasons. Mostly in the Spring time when there is a flush of new grass growth, causing the sheep to have loose stools, which then hit the tail then spreads to the entire back side. PERFECT ENVIRONMENT for flies to hay their eggs . After the eggs hatch, the maggots have free lunch buffet of leg of lamb. Not too bad to treat one or two sheep, but if you get 10, 20 or 100 + .... your labor and VET BILL with require an act of congress to finance it.

So that white lamb seems to have less "puffy cheeks" than your others, what gives?
