Now THAT is a spotted lamb
Technically, all that white is the spot. So, he's just got the one. Lol

Haven't seen any limping lambs, so that broken legged ram must be fine now. The numbers match up.
Got everyone their next cdt. Some refused to follow the flock and I had to hunt them down.
Decided not to let them back out and argue with them tomorrow. So, moved them all with the 4 suicidal sheep in the backyard for the rest of today.
They're going in here tomorrow.

Samplers came in, 3 days late. Got the ewe's samples and they're going out tomorrow. We'll know who the sire is & codon soon and then decide to register and keep or sell her. Sold the mom, Eloise, but have so many sheep. Idk. It's so hard to downsize...

Need to find a usa based lab for parentage! $17 in postage alone for 1 sample! Plus you have to declare it, since it's going to Canada. Mailman was so annoyed with me.
My picture printer broke. Ugh. So had to order pics. Need to order more samplers to be able to test all the lambs I've held back. Then I can send in their applications. None of the sale lambs are being tested this year, way too much hassle and stuff to keep up with.

Neogene has genetic testing. Is this the same? Samples ship to Nebraska and they can do it off blood card vs tissue sample.
Sheep Parentage (160 SNP) Global | Genomics
More than 150 single nucleotide polymorphisms are utilized in parentage verification for pedigree conformation and animal registration programs. Combine genetic testing with a well run breeding porgram to ensure the most accurate pedigrees.
