[Jacob-list] Lambing has begun!

[Robin Lynde]

I'm very sorry to hear about your son, but thankful that it will all turn 
out OK.
In answer to your question about registration--The acceptable limit for JSBA 
registration is 15-85% color. If a ewe out of registered parents is outside 
those limits, but looks otherwise OK  she can be placed in the Appendix 
Certified (AC) category. Her offspring would be eligible for registration if 
they pass inspection.
