Hi, Roger.
You seem to be an expert on the subject, so perhaps you can answer a
few questions about the tradition.

How many lambs were chosen as possible subjects for the sacrifice?
Were buck and ewe lambs given an even start, or were ewe lambs
defective at birth? Were wethers included in the study? How many lambs
were chosen for the event? Just who were the judges of the lambs and
how did they decide? Did they vote?

What was the recourse if a lamb was chosen and after killing it, it
was found to be defective? Were the lamb judges ever paid to choose a
particular animal? Did the judges ever reach an impass on deciding
which animal to take?

Did the judges only look at the wool or did they take other
characteristics into consideration?

I have an image of Christoper Guest loping around a temple with a lamb
on a leash.

Lamb of God
by Spike Milligan

Behold, behold, The Lamb of God
As it skips and hops.
I know that soon The Lamb of God
Will be the Lamb of chops.
