A third lamb (#96) had her tag ripped off! This is terrible. We don't know how exactly this is happening, but we have a suspect: Barney the Goat. The other day I saw him tugging on Babysheep's ear in the very spot she lost her tag a month ago. The tugging was gentle and playful, but it makes we wonder if, once in a while, Barney gets a tag between his teeth and ends up pulling too hard. I flat out asked him if he did it and he gave me the silent treatment. So I don't know for sure. One thing I DO know for sure---tomorrow we are taking off all the rest of the tags to stop the carnage. We'll be using ear tatoos for I.D.s from now on. Anyway, here's poor #96 and her torn ear. I feel bad (again).
