[Jacob-list] auction sheep/coyotes

[linda]

I find the topic of "found" sheep very interesting.  I've talked to a couple of 
Jacob breeders in my area (actually in South Carolina, but I'm just over the 
border in Georgia).  Both did register at one time and both have been 
members of Jacob Sheep organizations.  When I called one breeder, he told 
me that he had just taken all his older (7 years) ewes to the auction. This was 
awhile ago - he no longer has any Jacobs.  They were sold with no papers 
and no history.  Another breeder has the last of a well known flock and he 
sells at auction.  
In Georgia, there were two predominant breeders for the exotic market.  I 
think it might be fun to see if I can research those breeders.  

And speaking of coyotes  -  Dave and I were driving back from a visit to 
Patrice's a few weeks ago.  I had a chance to see some of the nice lambs 
from Edd's stock- a number of lilacs and some very good looking babies.  I 
took the scenic route home that goes through a wildlife management area.  I 
about ran off the road when I saw a coyote trotting nonchalantly along the 
shoulder of the road.
