[Jacob-list] NEWBORN LAMBS

[Mary E Hansson]

Carl,
 
Purely my spinner's prejudice coming out, but the lambs born with those
tight curls with NO longer straggly hairs coming out are the nice ones.
When I refer to lambs with CRAPPY FLEECES, they are the ones that most
breeders see so commonly in their flocks----with lots of hairs coming up
through the fleece, or a hair coat at birth.  The hair coats that I have
seen at birth are sometimes equated to more primitive lines.  I don't
even buy that completely----as in all theories, there are some bits of
truth and some bits of wishful thinking probably.  ANYWAY.......I like
those tight curls and don't see them often enough.
