showmanship is showmanship. It's how animal is
presented by handler, how handler presents themself,
handled, how it reacts to being touched by judge NOT
the conformation, size of animal, etc.

I think getting a second is VERY good!  I would not be
discouraged at ALL!

Part of showing a rare and distinctive breed is
educating others about the breed. I'm sure others,
like me, will see Jacobs at Fairs and Shows recognize
Jacobs for their unique characteristics and start
their own Jacob flocks.

Happy showing!

We're hoping to go to the NC State Fair for first =
time
 this year.&nbsp; Last year we observed many =
different
 breeds of sheep in the Wool Sheep Show -- =
separate
 show from market breeds.&nbsp; Still only one =
Jacob!! I saw
 that one, fell in love with the breed and now have =
my
 own flock.

From what my children have been told through =
4H,
 showmanship is showmanship. It's how animal =
is
 presented by handler, how handler presents =
themself,
 handled, how it reacts to being touched by judge =
NOT
 the conformation, size of animal, etc.
