>>Tail sexing can be ok but it isn't always that accurate.

I had a nice amel that had all the indications of a male.

Even when held next to males of the same size, if anything his tail was longer.

Well, when I sold him I got a call a few months later that "she" was pregnant.

So do what I did,

I got a set of probes from Kathy Love at Corn Utopia.

Along with probes, she sent very good instructions on how to probe.

I was a little nervous at first so I practiced on a couple of yearlings that had already been sexed.

Don't worry, corns are tough little critters. After a while the only problem you will have with probing will be the occasional musk....or worse...lol
