[Jacob-list] Mosquito battle (was: Good worming information)

[Linda]

Like our Jacob Sheep, we breeders have strong opinions.  And like our flocks, I imagine we'll manage to get along.  I find bats rather easy to avoid - they are abit hard to catch (very big smile).

I've found Jacob Sheep to have rather strong personalities as compared to the meat sheep I started with.  The differing opinions among the breeders on this list - in my experience - has been graciously done.
