[Jacob-list] AGM

[Linda]

I wonder how many of the Jacobs in the first JSBA flock book the judge would
have liked?   I'm happy to hear that those breeders that show are not
breeding specifically for show and I confess to have only seen two breed
specific classes.  The winners were lovely.  Some were a bit stockier,
taller, and generally larger than what I'm used to seeing in primitive
Jacobs - but I don't get out much :-)

The judge didn't like my sheep as much as I do--but that's OK. I am very
happy with my fleeces, and I know that some of my sheep are not as
straight-legged as the judge wanted. From listening to his reasons, I think
that he had read the new scorecard--30% wool, 30% conformation, 30% breed
character, 10% "showmanship". He also stated that leg and feet structure is
at the top of his list. Oh well! I have a few sheep at home with nice
straight legs. It's fun to show anyway. I thought it was interesting to see
the diversity of Jacob sheep in the show. Congratulations to the winners!
