[Jacob-list] Registrations

[Marguerite Van Beek]

Registrations.  I haven't had a questionable registration on a ewe in a long time.  I guess I was due. I have no problem providing the info the inspector has (pictures are questionable) to satisfy his question.  Let's assume and it is a example that she has wool forward of the horns.  My question to all of the Jacob breeders, how can you have a problem with a Jacob that could deny their entry into the JSBA Reg when all of her breedings are from Swallow Lane, Craft, Fairview, Brink May, Rockies, Unzicker, Joy Farm, Brighton etc. There are no FF 5 generations maybe more (I didn't go back that far).  If she is questionable (cross bred) then where did it come from.  Someone, somewhere is the guilty party.  Does this mean unless we find the culprit does all the rams and ewes on her pedigree questionable and their decendents.  Rightfully they should be.  Should we throw out the entire lineage?  

If it was the Jockey Club you betcha they would until the one that is guilty steps forward.  I understand that when you have FF then you might have problems like this.  Now, all of the above breeders don't go crazy my farm is on the pedigree too. Now remember this is an example please.   I just want to know where do you draw the line when it comes to acceptance.  How do you sell a lamb or ewe or ram that you have proof beyond a reasonable doubt that this Jacob is pure and then have some quirky thing like this come up.
