         So how did you mark sheep? Did you mark them in a way to recognize them?

         Well, each one had a mark.

         What kind?

         A mark – they make a mark on the ears.

         And how do they do that?

         And this surely – Hey, you’re recording me!

         He’s recording you; he’s recording you.

         So?

         OK then, that’s better.

         Well, sure –

          [cough]

         [On] the ear, for instance

         Yes?

         That means on the sheep’s ear. There are some [people], you know –

         I make a little slanted cut here, and we call that “izbrŭska” (slant-cut).

         Uh huh.

         What’s your mark on the right ear? On the right ear it’s a slant-cut.

         Uh huh, right.

         But another will [make it] in front.

         Right

         [He’ll make] a notch in front. So when you fold the ear over,

         and then – it’s done with scissors, or with shears –

         Uh huh.

         you slice of a little bet and you get a “swallowtail” cut here.

          Uh huh.

         Very little, but [enough] so each one knows which mark is his.

         So you’ve got a mark, a “rabushka” (notch) on the right ear. A notch in front.

         And on the left ear you’ve got a mark, a notch in the back. It’s called “the back”

         when the ear is like this, on this side.

         Uh huh.

         and [the notch] in the front part is called “the front”.

         The slant-cut.

         Uh huh.

         [So it’s called] a slant-cut when it’s in back –

         A slant-cut in the back, but you can also have a slant-cut in the front.

         Because it should happen very, very rarely that in one village

         people should [all] use the same mark, that mine should be just like yours,

         especially if we are neighbors. Because otherwise you wouldn’t recognize them.

         Some would recognize them but others wouldn’t be able to.

         If not for the mark they wouldn’t recognize them, and then they’d quarrel

         You’ll say it’s yours, I’ll say it’s mine,

         and we might get into a fight!

         [laughter]

         [laughter] Yes, that’s right!

         And other – were there other kinds of marks?

         No. Well [yes], there’s another mark when you gather at –

         At what?

         At the dairy farm, up there where they do the milking,

         when they gather them there in the summer. They use pitch.

         In the old days there was pitch (I bet you know that too!)

          Yes?

         And we mark them with pitch. You put it –

         One would make a straight line on [the sheep’s] back, another

         would [make it] on the side, and another – and each one will know

         what kind of pitch [marking] he’ll have put on his sheep.

          Uh huh.

         And the shepherds up there know, you see, by the pitch [marks]

         that were put on the backs [of the sheep]. Because it’s visible, right?

          Uh huh.

         and when they see one, they’ll say “Ah, that sheep [belongs]

         to so and so, that kind of pitch mark designates that person.”

         Huh.

         And another pitch mark [to another].

         So – weren’t there any other marks on, on the ear?

         No. What other – ?

          You didn’t punch [holes] in the ear?

         No, they don’t make punches. When the collective farm came, they used

         some sort of punches. But I never saw [any of that].

          Uh huh.

          And –

         So only the slant-cut and the notch.

         Yes, slant-cuts and notches, in front or in back, so if you’ve got …

          Uh huh.

         … a cut at a slant – but then someone could [also] make his mark

         on top of the ear, with only a little bit cut out.

         That’s called “ushatka” (straight cut).

         Uh

          “Ushatka”.

          Ah! You see? Anything else?

          I don’t know anything else [about that].
