~ The Cummington Sheep Festival ~

Part the Third

May 25th, 2002.

The other Critters of the Festival are located here! I mean, the reason I travelled all the way up here was to visit with the goats. Especially since there wasn't any music! The llamas were a side bonus, and the Jacob sheep were an entirely new reason to do this sort of thing.

LLAMA TIME

Young llamas are known as crias. These chaps were a touch skittish, but then they got attentive.

Goat Judging
Angora goat judging is largely done on the basis of the coat -- will it be good to spin?
Fullness, amount of grease in the coat, length, and a variety of things.
General health of the animal as well, which would also be reflected in the health of the coat.
