Cutting a portion of the ears of long-eared sheep

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: There are sheep of the Syrian variety from Syria.
The Shaykh:
There are.
The questioner:
Sheep of the Syrian variety from Syria, and their ears are long.
The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in them.
The questioner:
Should I cut a part of their ears while they are small, because the long ears get sick from the bottom since they fall into the food and water?
The Shaykh:
Allah created them this way, so do not cut anything from them except if it is for the sake of branding. Cutting a part of them for the sake of branding by which they are identified is permissible.
