If you are you can probably tell the sex when it is a year or more old. Most males produce sperm if you cool them in the fall and you can see sperm if you gently press around their vent.
If you only want to keep a girl (not waste your time raising up a Male you don't want) Then you need to find someone who knows how to sex them either probing or popping. You may need to drive a ways to a show or a professional breeder.
When I started out I drove 600 miles to have a professional sex my babies and teach me how to pop. He said not to probe you can make them infertile by probing especially in babies. He does occasionally probe large adults.

One question, how do you become an expert? Everyone has to start somewhere. Either ask around, im sure out of 56,000 people.. 1 will show you how. If not, email a known breeder, and get them to send you info, and try it yourself. Good luck.
