[Jacob-list] fleece loss

[Gillian Fuqua]

	I wonder if the fleece loss is due to metabolic changes post delivery 
and with lactation.  After all, I used to have perfect eyesight and 
thin wavy hair.  Post daughter I have an astigmatism and thick curly 
hair.
	I'll blame just about anything on hormones but if the new fleece looks 
good, I wouldn't worry.

	I am finding that there is one benefit to having a bottle lamb.  I am 
spending a lot of time sitting and watching everyone.  It certainly is 
neat to observe.  My bottle lamb's twin has decided that I am an 
overgrown sheep and comes over and climbs on me or jumps over my legs.  
I was sitting bent forward one night and she wound up on my back, ooh 
sharp hooves.  I wonder why the lambs tend to stand on the moms and why 
the moms tolerate it, it has got to hurt!
