You should never name something you are going to eat.Boys will be knackered & for the freezer, Ewes will be for breeding or selling, sorry.
Mrs OA already has named the bloody rest, original adults & last years lambs (bought not bred).
She gets to choose one of last years wethers (knackered boys) to be a friend for the ram.
I'm trying to convince her it should be the small one. Although he (fatboy is his name) is last years boy from the one that had lambs today & is being very protective of his new half brothers.
Still got 3 more pregnant ewes plus the neighbours 3 after my ram got into his paddock about 120 days ago!
Did that when I was young and never ate meat for a year.
