sexing newborn lambs

Males of all species have nipples. If there is a "flap" between them, it is probably male. Perhaps their testicles just have not descended yet.
What is underneath the tails? If there is no "slit" below then anus, they are probably male.

Probably helps all the misinformed people on this forum. I have the ability to read and understand, however so I will not be relying on Alice's wealth of information.

How very rude. So the people on the forum are just spouting opinions, but the people who write books know everything there is to know? Unbelievably gullible if you believe that. Any idiot can write a book and they do. You don't know if the author has any experience with what they are writing about. On the other hand, people who have raised these animals for years are more likely to have useful information.

I have lots of books, and have the ability to read and understand as well. However, the more information you have, the more likely it is to help. Did you learn everything you know from books? I doubt it.

Way to encourage new people to ask questions.

Please provide PROOF of this wonderful research by these omnipotent authors who wrote this book. I have read the
"Storey's guide to raising goats", and while interesting, not terribly useful.

Why you are here IS your business, but it is not necessary to discourage others from using the forum as they see fit.
If you disagree with something, fine. Making someone feel stupid for asking a question is also not your responsibility. No matter what you think of the question.

Not only that, but who are you to say whether the information offered is correct. If it has worked in an actual farm setting, it is correct.

Sigh... I guess there has to be one in every crowd or thread.

Interesting how someone who is an absolute newbie on this forum is tossing insults and insinuating trolling at a member that has been on for years. Guess we should have just ignored this Cosmic troll to begin with.

I have stated my opinion, I won't be adding fuel to your nasty attitude anymore.
