I remember finding this information last year.

I was looking on google for this subject and came up with the Vegan site, it was interesting but everything was "May" cause and I thought it could have been better researched if they wanted to show the suffering it causes. I am going to ask my farmer friend for help as I do not want to do it incorrectly and it is my first year on my own, docking has to be done though as the fly strike was really bad last year.

btw getting one of the rubber bands caught on your finger is not recommended (I know i have done it,in college many moons ago)
-
OOh Fluffywelshsheep I don't fancy that one bit!
-
get short tailed sheep no docking on ouessants. ;D
-
hehe very easy to be done when the 'duffer' slips and the band pings off and on to your finger.

Hey, better when the tails are covered in substances looking like korma sauce!!! lol
