[Jacob-list] Feeding Jacobs - wool break

[Juliet & Gordon]

Could this apparent wool break be just the natural 'rise'?  If you are shearing early ie well before June , then the 'rise' would be seen part way along the wool fibre at the next shearing and could be taken for a weakness.  Here we shear in June, using hand shears, and cut through the thinner area of the rise, so each fleece contains only one year's wool.  This leaves about half to one inch of new wool growth on the sheep.
