    Lads, going to the Mart tomorrow with some nice 40kg lambs. Is it a good idea to double tag the ewe lambs and put them in a separate pen?

    I wouldn't bother...

    If a lad wants to keep em, he can pay for the EID tag...

    Plus, it's prob a bit early for ewe lambs in a way...

    What about just splitting them into 2 pens. Is there a point in that? Have about a dozen.
