[Jacob-list] Showing Jacobs in all breed shows

[Marie Roenke]

Hi, the judge compare each sheep to its own breed standard and then 
he/she decides which one is closer to the ideal of its own breed 
standard. So if the judge has a Shetland and Jacob, the judge will 
decide if the Jacob or the Shetland is more outstanding in its own 
breed standard...but most judges seem to just pick the fatter one...
