[Jacob-list] Primitive/ Improved Discussion

[Linda]

Judging by the sheep sales at AGM and my personal experience, a good two 
horn sells for a good price, same as a good four horned. I have almost 
as much call for two horned sheep as for four horned sheep. I prefer 
four horned and seldom buy two horned, but I add one when I find one I 
like enough.
