<< Both of us were bored to tears until the cavemen went hunting and tried to 
catch a JACOB RAM!  He was gorgeous, and much smarter than the cavemen... 
Maybe we should think of auditions for some of our guys?>>


What a timely comment!  My husband, a computer programmer, used to work with 
a young guy who had connections with an Atlanta rock band.  He got to talking 
with him about our sheep and chickens.  He was intrigued, and they ended up 
filming a music video in our barn.  They had shots of the chickens in the 
video, but no sheep.  This was about 2 years ago.  A lamb was born sometime 
later that night, perhaps prompted by the hours of loud rock music the mom 
had to listed to all day. 

A couple of months ago, the band called back, asking if they could use our 
animals again.  So this time, our yearling 4 horned Jacob ram, Charles, and 3 
roosters made a trip to a sound stage in Atlanta for his acting debut.  I 
missed the big event, as I was out of town, but my husband told me that 
Charles did not suffer at all from stage fright, and played his part of 
standing on a bed (?) just fine, as long as there was some grain up there to 
keep him interested.

The group has a website, http://myssouri.com.  If you go to  
http://myssouri.com/see.htm, you'll see some pictures of our roosters on 
stage, and at http://myssouri.com/listen.htm, click on "The Floorless Jig" 
and you can hear the song that will bring Jacob sheep to MTV.  So far there 
are no pictures of him on the website that I could find.  I'll keep you 
posted on his promising music/film career.
