Edit....slightly off topic but I remember being at the Yorkshire Show with this old guy........
Half a dozen young people, with shoulder length hair, walked through the sheep lines. "Dang it," he said, in his broad South Lincolnshire drawl, "I've a job to tell if they're heeders or sheeders nowadays."

Pretty much the same here.
Lambs until Chistmas
Hoggs until the tup goes on them
Gimmers until they lamb
Still not worked out what to call those that lamb at 12m old - hoggs with lambs or something. Not gimmers, they never get a chance to be gimmers.

We curse the ones that die whatever age they are, then reward the ones that don't with a one-way trip to the killing house. Is that really logical?
