[Jacob-list] Who and Where are the Show Flocks???????

[Linda]

Since we are working at conserving/preserving a rare breed and the primitive characteristics that are an integral part of our breed, I don't think you'll find any flock that breeds just for shows. Hope not, anyway. 

I'd like to see more Jacob classes at shows (although I don't much care to show - too many years of showing QH's burned me out).   Winning or losing in an all breed class doesn't say much to me about the quality of the sheep. Breeders are working to educate judges on the breed standard.  

There are some breeders that win alot at shows. Hope they contact you directly. 

If you'd like to volunteer to keep records on show ring results, that would be fun. I'll be happy to help you set up a database if you need help.
