    I am looking for ideas for a lot of black lambs I seem to be having this lambing season.

    When I put them out in a week or so, I don't know how to mark them up for identification so I can match them to the mother

    Any ideas what to do ?

    Tipp ex :p

    I actually got into a conversation with someone on Twitter with this very subject & they said the marking/branding fluid works best, failing that, yellow/orange spray.
