any that have been docked (commercial recips ) dont get the issues so quick , so in their case docking does give better protection , I generally crutch ewes with lambs at foot when they come off keep in march , for shearing in early may . if not shorn or treated would have maggots mid end may for sure . and they seem to carry a bad infection before its even spotted , long openish coats seem perfect for laying fly .Does black wool attract files?
Would short black tails be worse for strike than long black tails ?
