[Jacob-list] importations

[Neal and Louise Grose]

Somebody will have to go back and check, but there were a lot of restrictions on importations in the late 60s and 70s because of foot and mouth outbreaks. The Hesscock animals were brought in then, but spent several years in quarantine in Canada. There were importations in the 50s, and we THINK that there may have been some in the 1890s. Certainly there have been some odd groups of Jacobs that no one could really account for. Not sure anyone has really figured it all out.

  ....weren't the first importations of Jacobs around the late 60's or early 70's? 
  Lawn mowers were around WAY before that....growing up in the 50's, we always had a lawnmower.   :-)
