[Jacob-list] Where in the world is that one and only perfect ram????

[Mary Hansson]

I sent a picture to Linda---only one I could find and not the best shot.
As I said, "His name WAS "Nuts"."  He got gored and mangled by a ram by
the name of Maverick Donegal after shearing over a year ago and had to
be put down.  That is one of the few rams that I have really regretted
not having seen grow up.  He was born in May, grew slowly as most late
spring lambs do down here, and died in Feb. when he was about 9 months
old.
