There are some members that do move sheep . Royal Unzicker does it and he'll
probably do it again this year if he attends the AGM and brings some sheep
with him. He's in PA. Doug Montgomery moves sheep all over the place !! He's
in Oregon and if you can get a "reservation", and he's going near you,
you'll have your livestock delivered.

Don't fret. You'll get them somehow !

I think someone posted about Jacobs and Navajos mostly in the East and West
(USA) - well in OH, we don't view ourselves exactly as East.  There are a
lot os us here, enough so we formed a Jacob Fanciers club that so far seems
to meet 2x/year.  We invite Carl in IN even though we don't expect Fosbrinks
to make the trip - plus some of us have sheep from Carl.  Then, MI just got
Gary Anderson transplanted from CA, so hopefully, we can get some west coast
genetics into our OH flocks from them.  AS I noted in an earlier post, I
just traded some Jacobs (to AR) for some Navajos (realy from PA), and last
summer transported a OH ram in IN to trade for a Kankakee IL ewe that was
transported to IN to meet me for the trade.  Lets not forget the Crafts in
IA - so, we do have Jacobs in the 'middle' too.

 

At our Jan meeting, I invited a new Navajo shepherd from Wakeman in northern
OH and she made the 2 hr trip and brought a fleece to show the group.  She
also took home some Jacob yarn to make a finished 'square' for one of the
Jacob people to take to market to show as a 'product' of the fiber.

 

I know we have breeders in CO and since I have been there a few times as a
younger skier, I do not consider that far.  Looking at JSBA regions, I think
maybe a couple of the regions are too big - like southwest.and northwest.
But, really, it doesn't matter because if someone wants the genetics bad
enough, they will figure a way to bring it home.

 

There is an alpaca transport group - we probably don't need that but there
may be another way to accomplish the same ends.  Comments ? Anyone?
