Day 1:

It is my first day having Bullseye and we are starting to work that shag. He has wooly legs. Dutch had more of a hair texture. We will se show it goes. Here are some pics of his legs and ears.

I know you want the legs wooly, do you want the ears slick?

Actually there is a new trend where you keep the ears fluffy and just shape them. So I’ll be working that hair too.

Be careful - sounds like it's turning into a dog show!

Fluffy ears! Curling iron? Tiny rollers? Straight? Tiny ponytails?
Who comes up with this stuff? Fluffy ears! Just more ridiculous time consuming stuff to do that doesn’t mean anything.

I certainly wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings. This is just my opinion, show livestock should move closer to actual successful breeding stock, not further and further away, more concerned with fluffy than actual substance.

But if anybody can pull it off and have the fluffiest ears, it’ll be you. You are dedicated to doing the very best you can do, meeting the judging criteria.

Yep. It seems though that the genetic that carry the fluffy leg gene is always with large boned sheep.
People have started to hand scissor the belly to make it look deeper or have different shapes to look better than a Show ring because the judge to ever touch the belly

He got shaved and then wrapped up again. Wool feels softer and hydrated.
