Here's the scorecard for a jacob fleece we entered but didn't place (curse you medium wool romneys :argh: ) so you can see better. The fleece sold to a beginner spinner who really appreciated the comments and loved working with it.



Why do Border Leicesters get their own division, and why are the rams and ewes divided into separate classes?

The fiber show is associated with a sheep show and it has become a national specialty for border leicesters in the past couple of years. BL breeders come from all over the country to show their sheep and fleeces so they get their own division. By dividing it up between rams and ewes I think they're just giving more people a chance to place although there can be differences in ram and ewe fleeces I guess.

Thanks for the explanation :)

I used to knit and still love browsing yarn shops, so seeing the production side of all this is pretty interesting. Obviously enjoying the baby animal pics too, so thanks for the thread!
