[Jacob-list] Jacob Market Lambs

[Laura C Frazier]

Jennifer,
I would love to see photos of the Jacob Market lambs! My father-in- 
law raises SuffolkXHampshire lambs for his grandchildren, including  
my 15 yr old son, to show. I showed my unshorn Jacobs in the AOB (All  
Other Breeds) part of the local county fairs and they were judged as  
carcass sheep and placed last almost every time. Please post pictures  
and the story.

Best of luck!
Laura
