[Jacob-list] movie star

[Joy Thomas, SonRise Farm]

Katrina and Betty - That is TOO cool! Jacobs are
gorgeous animals, am sure they will be a great
addition to both the book and movie!  Betty, DO tell
us the name of the movie!

We've had several larger sheep on our farm for a while
now. After comparing, we're going to move back to the
smaller, primitive Jacobs. They don't put as much wear
and tear on our pastures or equipment, don't eat as
much, and don't make as much manure that needs to be
managed (the joys of small acreage and neighbors who
complained about my free-range chickens!). They are
also easier to shear and handle -- I'm getting older
and value my back and knees!

have a fiber-filled weekend all! I'm off to clean out
my fleece closet and do some spinning!

Katrina - any pictures of the new little human lamb?

Joy
