[Jacob-list] Winter Project

[Hobsickle at aol.com]

Hi All-
 
I'm planning on a project for this winter and need your help.   I'd like to 
do a microscopic examination of several different shades of Jacob  wool 
(especially non-black), and I need samples!  If any of you wouldn't  mind helping by 
sending me samples of your sheep's wool I'd appreciate it.  
 
I hope to examine and photograph samples, looking particularly for  
melanocyte distribution and melanin distribution in the wool.  Over  time, I hope to 
build "pedigrees" with this data to look for inherited  similarities.  If I get 
really ambitious, I may do some chemical  analysis.
 
If you're willing to participate, please send half-fist sized samples to my  
address listed in the JSBA directory.  Please label them with the sheep's  
JSBA or JSC number so that I can trace pedigrees.  If you don't have a JSBA  
directory please contact me off the list.
 
All help appreciated!
