identifying black lambs
« on: April 01, 2016, 03:02:09 pm »
Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to mark very young black Herdwick lambs?  I find a yellow spray marker doesn't really show up and their ears are too small for tags.

We recently discussed this very issue on this thread here
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
