she didn't explain why it's ok to breed a ram to his daughter. it really doesn't sound like a sensible idea to me....

@bishonenboy i agree but i still doesn't change the quality of the animal!

I love sheeps and lambs there so cute!:)

[bishonenboy]

@dontask231 It doesnt affect reproduction, sure, but if you had a choice to breed for openface wouldnt it make sheering around the head easier and safer?

[dontask231]

wool around the eye does not affect the reproduction caliber of an animal as it makes no difference.
