Comment on Lesbian sheep

I’m a big fan of Doctorov , but I’m this case I would like a citation.
I’m making interested to see how the gender of the ewes was determined. I mean if the indicator of sexual attraction is indistinguishable from normal behavior: standing still how could one prove the sheep to be lesbian?

I suppose he should have said “gay ewes would be hobbled” and lesbian sheep *would be incapable of coupling up".
His quote shows that people say there’s no way of knowing one way or another, like you say, but Doctorow changed the language to be a bit more suggestive of certainty that the phenomenon exists.
