Your second question answers your first one. The two black dots in the right ear mean your Roscoe comes from Marshall farms.

That one tells Marshall which tech did the neuter and descent operation if a problem ever arrises. -- Russ, Booger, Bonnie & Clyde [log in to unmask] URA Redneck if photos of your mama were taken from the front and side.
