[Jacob-list] Re:lamb is missing something

"Cryptorchidism" is a genetic defect only expressed in males (well that makes 
sense!). If neither testicle has descended the animal should be infertile 
owing to the higher body temperature (after all that's why they're down below 
in the first place - to keep 'em cool). If one has descended the animal may 
well be fertile. In any case IMHO it would be risky to keep this lamb as the 
risk of passing on this trait is not worth the worry. Just my opinion.
