These ones have clearly emerged from their gawky teenage phase to reveal their maleness however I've almost given up trying to guess sexes of sub adults.

I find with some individuals that they are almost sexless in that they don't show any real significant features one way or the other. Often as well these animals don't reproduce or rarely. mmmm Wonder what is going on there. I haven't noticed as much of this with my Alpines/Highlands whatever you like to call them but have with lowlands.

Quite a difference in the tails on those males Scott. Weird how much the individual features can vary from individual to individual.
