[Jacob-list] 2001 JSBA Annual Meeting

[Anderson, Gary B.]

Information regarding the June 8-10 JSBA Meeting to be held in Lodi, CA was
included in the February 2001 JSBA Newsletter.  In addition to the
Association's annual business meeting, the 2001 JSBA Meeting will include a
Jacob wool show and fleece competition for fun and profit; presentations and
displays on processing of Jacob wool for sale and use; short seminars on
rare-breed genetic conservation and sheep reproduction and health; formal
and informal discussions with speakers who are nationally recognized as
experts in their fields; opportunities to meet and interact with fellow
Jacob sheep breeders (e.g., times arranged between sessions, at the
California wine and cheese reception, or over a BBQ dinner); and chances to
contrast breeders' Jacob sheep for education and exchange of germ plasm.
Enclosures in the Newsletter included registration materials, information on
lodging near the hosts' farm, instructions on entering fleeces in the wool
show, and health requirements for sheep brought to the meeting.

To ensure that attendees leave the Meeting with a true taste of California
living, organizers are trying to arrange an earthquake, a major celebrity
break-up, and a guest appearance by the real Mickey Mouse.

The meeting is open to anyone interested in Jacob sheep.  If you did not
receive the JSBA Newsletter with information on the meeting, you may contact
me directly (gbanderson at ucdavis.edu) with your mailing address, and I will
send you information on the meeting.
