No, we are not fussy about these things, yet. We have a scale that we could use, but we avoid handling them as much as we can. We do apply iodine to their belly-buttons for a few days, and we vigilantly observe the bond between the mother and child. Otherwise, we are hands-off. The evening jackets provide us a type of measurement of their growth. This is the first set of births at the summer pasture. It has no structures, so, yes, we must have quick hands to grab them!
