Painting Sheep
Dosing for worms; sorting
between "in lamb" and "geld" ewes; weeding out boy
"wethers" and sheep from other farms
Marking it all; painting
Everything has a sign and a meaning, each farm a
different mark to identify its sheep
I ask Sam what was the meaning of half the hogs (one
year olds) having yellow forehead spots, and half
green. Sam and Tony, another help, laughed. "It means
we ran out of yellow" said Tony.
