[Jacob-list] for sale

[Linda]

Hi Betty,


Sounds like you've had some hagglers.  I don't know if we're just in a different area, but I have never had anyone try 
to bargain over a price on one of my Jacobs.  And I haven't ever tried to bargain on the ones I buy.  If I can't afford 
one, I just don't buy one.  I do get involved in trades every so often which seem to work out well.  I handspun and 
knitted a sweater for a ram one year.  Traded 1/2 of a loom for 2/3 of a ram lamb this year.  Bartering can be quite 
entertaining.  With the incredible wild chicken population explosion around here lately, I'm thinking of seeing if the 
dentist might take a dozen chickens for my next appointment!  Probably not :-(

It is certainly a plus to have the ancestors on site.  You've got some pretty sheep!

Linda
