2 year olds

I've a couple of 2 year olds that have never been in lamb. Neighbour says I can sell them in Mart as hoggets and not fat ewes. Any truth in that?

They're not hoggets and if you sell them as hoggets the buyer is entitled to throw them up.
Some marts have all the ages side by side and buyers sort them out themselves in which it's ''buyer beware'',

Put them up as young ewes, lads buying can decide what age they are.
