[Jacob-list] "Exotic" Jacob Sheep in canned hunt

[Linda]

To clarify..I often sell rams to buyers for religious holidays. I'm not 
near a a large metropolitan area and seldom sell to what is generally 
called the "ethnic" market. My religious holiday buyers are (both of 
them) biblical scholars that choose to eat as they say the Christian 
bible tells them. The biblical Christians and the Muslims both want a 
ram that is "perfect" as in no broken horns, no physical deformities, 
and still a ram.
I am not furious that Arnold bought a ram from me and butchered him. I 
do and will sell rams for dinner, breeding, or putting the head on a 
wall. I had two very nice rams at the time and sold him the one with 
unique bloodlines to this area, as he said he was going to be breeding 
Jacobs.
My other biblical scholar buyer has always been upfront that he is going 
to butcher the ram according to his beliefs.
I was/am still annoyed that that Arnold was not upfront with me about 
his reasons for wanting a ram.
