Just doing a bit of cross thread blending, I used to know a bloke, an old farmer, who was very unpopular in the local pub at lamb marking time.
I went out once as a paid labourer to help out when I was in high school, as i used to go shooting on his property and wanted to stay in the good books.
Marking lambs is when you round em all up and remove the tails and testicles (of the males). Usually by putting a rubber ring on. Bit like ringbarking a tree, after a bit the ringbarked item would just drop off. (feel free to cross your legs and cringe)
However, some of the lambs were too big for the rings so it was time for the knife. He did that work. Just upend the lamb, cut off the tail, squeeze the nutsack, little slice so the boys popped out, then slice the strings. Both wounds healed with a dob of some stuff in a tin and applied with a paintbrush.
He'd place the tails and gonads on a make shift shelf while we worked, then once finished, take them home for the mrs to cook for him. The tails were cooked over a flame so the wool frizzled off and the gonads were boiled (I think) and he'd then head down the pub with a thermos flask of sheep nuts and a paper parcel of grilled lambs tails, order a pint of Guinness and sit down at the public bar for afternoon tea.
Not my idea of gourmet cuisine just quietly and AFAIK no one ever took him up on his kind invitation to share.

Got slow cooking lamb roast in the oven, everything ready. Was checking the temp of the meat, and felt something crouch in my jaw. Dropped and broke the meat thermometer, and discovered my back molar has snapped in half, with a nice big jagged point. So now I'm sitting at the dentist waiting for them to kindly fit me in, while my lovingly prepared meal ( well its prepared) is hopefully completed by the kids, hmm fat chance!
Great start to the weekend
I hate cooking
And now I feel like that dim sim

Last night had stir fry veg with chicken & noodles.
I'm still thinking about tonight. Home made pizza I think with salad or meat & three veg.

Removing the tail is a lot less cruel than fly strike. They get dung stuck on the tail which gets in the wool round the arse, flies go to it and lay maggots there which start to eat the skin around the sheeps arse.
At least he didn't get us to do any Mulesing.
See page 23 re docking tails

Your poodles don't live outside and get checked by a human once every week or so if they're lucky.
