Weaning day — plus a proper look through the lambs for breeding potential.
Not every lamb makes the cut: feet conformation, growth, and a couple of
lambs that turned out to have no testicles all factor into who stays and
who doesn't.

I've picked out 19 so far on physical checks alone — feet, teeth, shedding
progress, general growth. The figures from FlockWise/Sheep Ireland come
