Fleece information

Royal and Sue Unzicker of Ivy Brook Meadows (www.ivybrookmeadow.com) were here today and I got the beginnings of my fleece education. Here are the notes I took while he was here handling the ewes and checking teeth and fleece (and body condition, too, I think).

Granny 4 Horn: Open type fleece, nice crimp.

Dot Nose: Long, open fleece with some crimp but not a lot.

Small 2 Good UP: solid, dense fleece.

SNDau: has a mane.

SNDau's dau: open fleece, long, some crimp.

Oh dear, I realize he had more comments about fleece than I noted. Sorry! Royal, if you read this and recall something I've forgotten, do let me know and I'll add it to this entry on fleece!
