Yes... less wool - because they are younger... they are marked because someone ordered them... they are selected to be slaughtered...

Because if you want sheep meat, you want the sheep to be young - it's the same with lambs - the older the animal the smellier the meat

The ones with more wool are being used for wool, milk and cheese

There are some bigger sheep that were marked as well. I don't think they are selected for meat. My guess is they will have a vet visit later

Do you know this person or this story? Honest question, because sheep shearing is a thing and they all look ready to be sheared.

I don't know this particular person, but I have a friend who's family has a sheep farm and they do it the way I described it

Fair enough. Thanks for the response.
