[Jacob-list] Fwd: Fwd: showing jacob sheep

[Linda]

I'm the typo champion, so don't sweat it :-)

I am interested in the regulations for the Handspinning class. The highlighting didn't come through in the my post. Could you recap on the important stuff?

and cutting. These problems will be penalized according to severity.

All sheep must have premise identifi cation ear tags that comply

SHOW RULES:
1. All entries must have offi cial health certifi cates issued by an

Karen and her daughters are brand new JSBA members. They could use a little help regarding shearing and showing sheep. Please help them out.

            Hi, I talked with you yesterday about our Jacob sheep.  You called about my kid0s registration….Happy Hats.  Your hats are great.  When you show a Jacob sheep in a hand spinner’s class I am assuming you don’t shear them like our breading market animals.  What I read is you shear in early spring, wash them a few days before and put covers on them.  This is new for us and we would like to do it right.  The sheep were born in early spring.  Have any suggestions for beginners?
 
Thanks,
Karen Herriotts
