[Jacob-list] sheep and snow.

Have you ever tried snow for yourself? It's wonderful stuff! I don't blame
them at all!

I have also noticed the preference for snow over water last winter.  Thought
it odd.  I go through all kinds of exertion to keep their water tank filled,
clean and thawed, and the silly things go out and lick the ice where the
snow melt has run into the low spots on the pasture and frozen.  I keep
threatening to just let their water freeze up so they would like it better,
but so far haven't done that.  I wonder if this is a survival instinct from
the primitive breed, to use whatever is available, or if they are just too
lazy to walk a few feet back to the tank.  Whatever it is, it is just one
more interesting thing about Jacobs
