I live near Grand Rapids and saw the original, local-news report on the
missing Jacob ram; I did not see the follow-up, next-day report in Linda's
message that he had been located and returned home.

In the original report the news reporter referred to a rare breed of sheep
called 'Jacob Ram'.  The reporter also said that the ram was especially
cranky because he was 'in the rut'.  The item appeared several times in
successive half-hour news segments (a soft news day, apparently), and each
time I received a telephone call or two from family and acquaintances who
were more amused than concerned over the personality of 'Jacob Ram' sheep.

I was courting a prospective buyer at the time of the news report, and
either her television reception was poor or she was not too concerned over
what she might be getting herself into; she arrived as scheduled to pick up
her sheep.
