[Jacob-list] color testing/extra teat/thanks

[Linda Bjarkman]

That certainly seems interesting.  I'd be happy to contribute samples 
from all 2 of my lilacs.

Thanks to everyone that responded to my extra teat question.  The 
extra teat produced a small amount of milk the first time I tried and 
never again had any milk.  I guess just a small never used gland 
there.

Oh, I knew rams had teats - just was laughing to myself.  Last year 
our donkey gelding had a growth near where his scrotum used to be.  
Someone took a look at our jack and said, "it must be contagious 
because Strider has two small tumors starting up - which were of 
course his teats".
