[Ansteorra-textiles] Can we?..was horrible news

[Nancy Wederstrandt]

I would be willing to contribute some money.  I know that they  were
looking at distinct breeds but I can't remember all of them.  I can also
look around and see what they have.  I know Hansel was a Horned
Dorset.  Some of the others were Cheviots and a Rambouillet cross.  If I
remember and I could be wrong..... they were trying to get types that were
raised in Texas during the time of the park.  Rambouillets were if I
remember correctly.  Horned Dorsets are a rare breed which is sad that
Hansel didn't make it.  What compounds this is that they were in the
process of replacing their cow.

I  know that they would be interested in a wether or two and ewes but don't
particularly want a ram.  Wethers, for those who might wonder, are
castrated Rams.  They are generally fine with ewes as opposed to the non
wethers (grin).    Ram wool is more, hmmmm, pungent that ewe wool.
