[Jacob-list] Split Eyelids, More questions

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

OK.. I have 2 of them... Both sired by the ram I culled last year...  
Thankfully they are the only ones by that ram.  There are no sheep in the  flock with 
split eyelids other than these 2 lambs.  He did not have  SUED.  
 
How common are SUED's?  Im guessing that they are a reason to not SHOW  a 
particular animal... But what about a ewe lamb?  Is it a reason to cull  her as 
well?  
 
There was talk on previous posts  about research done in years past,  but I 
must have missed the ink to the information.  As you all know, Im new  to the 
Jacobs, and enjoy having them , but also enjoy the (GASP) Showring!   SO , the 
genetics that play into this are VERY important to me.. Especially if  this is 
a issue in the showring and with breeding animals.
 
My big goal is to produce rams that have one well in the ring, and are sold  
to breeders as producers who have a bit of a record.... I know, I'm a bit over 
 involved.
