Nobody seems to have said that docking tails depends on the breed.
Badger faced aren't docked but the 'muck' doesn't seem to stick to them.
Ryelands it sticks like the proverbial sh!t to a blanket, many hill breeds are
Wiry wooled sheep and don't have docked tails, but it doesn't stick to them,
is this the reason some are done and some aren't?
Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana.

We did all the hill breed stuff earlier in the thread, moleskins.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing
