[Jacob-list] Sold Jacobs returning!

[Linda]

I give it an automatic "maybe". Depends on the circumstances at the farm.  What other sheep were there besides mine? Did the owner practice whole flock wormings to the point that I might be bringing in a resistant parasite? What health problems, if any, did the buyer have? Are these sheep I'd want to have back?  Most likely yes as I don't sell sheep I wouldn't buy.  But I often sell sheep because I'm overloaded on a particular bloodline.  
 
What I will do is to work to find breeder homes for sheep I've sold.
