[Jacob-list] AGM

[Linda]

Jacob Sheep are not just show sheep and there are alot of breeders that don't give a fig about shows.  I'm excited that so many Jacob owners that only have a few Jacobs and never show will be attending our AGM.  It's not all about showing.  It's also about breeders that just love Jacob Sheep.  It's just as important to promote Jacob Sheep to the breeder that doesn't show, doesn't care about fleece, doesn't care about selling lambs, and just gets a kick out of seeing their sheep.

Don't think that these breeders are less important than those that show.  And don't think that sheep shows are the only way to promote our breed. 

I hope you are not saying that you will leave JSBA because our AGM conflicts with your show??  I'll miss you.
