[Jacob-list] More Showing Questions..Halters

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

Id never thought about collars...? Most of mine are well behaved in a nylon halter, and when we showed, we used halters with short leads.

On the Jdges packet.. I assume that is available at Jsba.org?? And is that something i should have available?

I did some reading, and the Judge I mentione is the Shepard at North Dakota State Univ.

I am glad you asked and curious to see what the answers are... I have been using dog collars, and in reading the judge's guidance packet, saw that halters are allowed (but no mention of dog collars!) I also noted they ask the judge's to be patient and tolerant of rookie mistakes?so they won't get too discouraged to participate.?Doug Montgomery was judging and didn't say a word... not that my Jacobs won anything anyway. But one of my Navajo sheep had a nice win, went to the big ring for best fleece (finished in top three- my ONLY show ring excitement so far!) , and a friend was horrified to see she was in there with a collar on! (Fortunately the fleece obscured the fact that in my nervousness, she had TWO dog collars on! I didn't see the first one and put on the second...) One thing I did notice is that the thick soft twisted nylon leads really pick up sawdust.

What is the breed standard concerning showing with or without halters?

I grew up showing Cheviots.. So we never considered showin in a halter... But learned at Estes Park Wool Festival.. .At least at that show... Halters were reccomended....

We are showing at the National Western, in a Natural Colored Sheep Show.....I have not gotten this question answered yet..... 

Additionally, I am a bit concerened how to hold onto these big 4 horn rams.....

With the Cheviots, it was easy to grasp under their chin and behind the poll .... There are a few things in the way with these Jacobs.. I suppose I can hang onto a horn.. But am a bit confused.....As on thes guys with a dropping side horn.... holding onto the chin isnt really an option!

The Judge is?Wes Limesand of Fargo, ND.... Any one have any input?
