[Jacob-list] I agree with Sue's daughter

[fourhornfarm]

Hello Gail,

    I appologize for those who have made hurtful comments on the list and I 
certainly agree with Royal's comments.
    Now this is in no way a put down, but I am very curious as to why none 
of the Jacob breeders in your area register their Jacobs?

Regards,
Carl
