[Jacob-list] sheep and goats

[Sugar Hill Farm]

Hi all,

Welcome back Mary Ellen.  Hope you'll tell us any interesting stories or
information you got along the trip.

Is the disease you and others were talking about with goats the equivalent
to sheep OPP?  I know there is a like disease in both, but forgot the
initials for the goat one.

Jacob & Shetland sheep, American Bashkir Curly horses, Appaloosa horses,
Delaware chickens
