Anyone else notice that the size of the red/orange margins in RES vary from one side to the other? One side is usually larger and more irregular than the other. IMO this makes it more difficult to accurately sex RES by examination of the ear tabs. I caught this one less than two weeks ago, I am pretty sure this one is male as the ear tab margins are large and red.
