[Jacob-list] Bearded Ram? To Cheryl & Betty

[Linda]

I'm not sure why we/I call that line of longer hair/wool running down 
the brisket a beard in sheep as it's really part of a mane, but that's 
what I've always called it. It is NOT anything like a beard in a goat 
and is nowhere near his chin. Cindy called a beard and I knew just what 
she meant.
