[Jacob-list] What is this sheep, anyway?

Maybe there could just be parades instead of judging.  Parades attract lots 
of attention and create interest.  But , I guess we would have to cull for 
nasty tempers since parades require fairly "lead-able" creatures.  OK, I am 
being facetious.  In my opinion, once animals are in the showring, the goal 
becomes winning the award, and not the preservation of diversity, 
unfortunately.  It bothers me to hear that these animals could be victims of 
the whims of fashion like many of the dog breeds out there.  

Of course, this is just my opinion.
