Can anyone tell me what the most efficient, serious producers do about sheep 
tails?  Do they dock them, or do they find it not worth the trouble?

I recall seeing sheep all over northern Scotland with long tails, and 
gathered it isn't worth the effort there.  Will I kick myself if we skip 
tail docking in mid-Vermont?

thanks, Ann in Vermont
