[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 6625138, member: 395"] I've noticed you can get left or right sided suckers. When adopting a second lamb to a ewe after a lamb has learned to suck I've noticed you can have two sucking the same teat and ignoring a full teat inches away. When two lambs learn to suck right away they seem to naturally pick a teat and stay there. It's also noticeable if a ewe looses a quarter that one lamb can fade very quickly simply by not adapting to sucking from the other side. Perhaps I'll mark a few lambs with port and starboard this year and see if there is any degree of interchangeability. [/QUOTE]
