[QUOTE="egbert, post: 6932425, member: 9965"] Long ago, when the world was young, I was lucky enough to have sat drinking cider (or very possibly zyder) with an old fella locally - 'mutton chop' side burns, bowler hat, the works ....now long gone sadly. Amidst the pearls of wisdom was how to cut off lambs tails You do em with a sharp knife when they'm several weeks. They'm best when they'm doin real well, and fat as butter. Don't ee upset um, cuz they'll bleed too much else. Juzz pen em up with their muthars close by the chopping block (and i'm sure he said knife rather than axe), and speak quiet to em, find a joint tween thar bones... and there tiz. An then you kin ave lambs tail pie fer tea...bootie! He went on to describe curing constipation in bullocks- a process involving a handful of lard-, various other animal husbandry techniques ....and ever mindful to impart good advice to a rapt youngster.....what to do with a sore finger. (All together now...'you put it in zyder') As far as the OP? Leave em on now. I got plenty of long tail ewes, and see it as sign they jumped up and ran before Basil or I could get near em. a good sign! [/QUOTE]
