Almost everyone up here are cattle oriented. There are some folks with
Jacobs and some folks with Black Bellies. I don't want any modern breeds.
They just taste too muttony for me even when lambs. I like the meat from
the old breeds like the Icelandics, Shetland, Soay.
As I understand them, Icelandics are more thinking sheep than some of the
other breeds. When the older kidlets were in 4-H we had Corriedale/ Hamp or
Suffolk crosses and they did really well and they won the carcass contest
every year. They're just too inclined to be sheep sheep (dumb and panicy)
for me <g>
