do normal lambs wag their tail like a dog when being feed, one of my lambs does, but the other 10 wag theirs randomly like what you see in the field in the lambs we've had this yr and last yr i have never seen it

[Moleskins]

I've got ewes that wag their tails

Our lambs certainly waggle their tails when feeding and in fact it's a fair sign that they are 'latched on' when newborn - not definite as they seem to do it out of hopefulness too.

Yes, I think they often do it from hopefulness too.
But my first little tup lamb this year wags his tail quite a bit  Some sheep do it to scatter their poo (as do hippopotami  )

Yes ours all do it while feeding.  how else can they express happiness ?

[in the hills]

Yes, mine wag when they are thinking of a suckle and when they are latched on.

The ewes wag theirs when its lifted and they have had a poo!!! Spent far too much time staring at sheeps bottoms lately so I know

In the hills,   You really must get out more........

If you really want to see fast wagging tails then I have seen nothing like primitives feeding.  One of my Shetlands produces lambs with tails that wag so fast when feeding all you can see is a blur.  It fascinates me which I guess means I should get out more as well

    Fortunately sheep are less efficient at that than hippos 

As for all you bum watchers - what could be better on a sunny day

one of our lambs wags it like a dog, the others are more like a random wiggle, i love watching there tails wag it tends to make me laugh...

I love watch ing the young lambs....they are so random....Why do they get so boring when they grow up? (Well definatly a LOT less interesting!)

[Crazyboutdaanimals]

i agree... at least they have a little fight in them when there young, as they get older they seem to try and find more ways to... well fill there life long wish

[in the hills]

Just watched mine go dashing down the hill. One sprang off the ground and twisted in the air ....... that was the ewe and not the lamb!  We did laugh.

Get some decent sheep        ....... many things these girls maybe but not boring.

Yesterday I watched our firstborn lamb Ace, who's a couple of weeks old, skipping and leaping and proinging along, followed by a shearling ewe who was skipping and leaping and proinging along, followed by our now 17 year old ewe who was skipping and leaping and proinging along    Where's the boring
