Timing of lamb and codon test result availability

A new feature I am providing this year is codon test results for the lambs. All of them have the resistance gene to scrapies (R ) from their father, but for breeding purposes, it is useful to know what allele they received from their mothers. The tests, however, take a while to be processed so the likelihood is that they will not be known until about July 1st.

The first batch of lambs (from Claire, Fergie, Hattie,and Iris), will be weaned ~ June 1st. Tammy and Quin, from Katie and Nina, will be weaned ~ July 1st.
