[Jacob-list] Jacobs at fairs in general

[Linda]

Good point, Bonnie.  Many people first see and fall in love with Jacob Sheep at 
shows and fairs.  After you have finally convinced them that are indeed sheep! 
and NOT goats, you have a unique opportunity to educate someone about this 
great breed.  Your children are lucky to have the chance to exhibit their sheep 
in the friendly,  noncompetitive atmosphere of 4H.
