| We paint with irons and scourable paint. We used to match ewe's ear tag to the number we painted on her, but now we just started at one and went up. The ewe and lambs get matching numbers, and singles get a cross mark on the tail head. Triplets get a M (sideways 3) below the ewe's number. I think Si Ro Mark is the paint we use now.
We feed to 115-120lb fat lamb. Last couple of years we've been selling alot into Canada. They want the smaller fat lamb we produce (less than 120lb).
BTW, the jugs are hog panels cut into 3 pieces (you get 2-7 holers and 1-8 holer). Then wire at the joints and use spring clips to latch. The shed has an isle down the middle and pens are two deep on each side. Shed is 30 x 95 ft.
