Hey all of you shutterbugs! Let's stir up some trouble and get a
photo of a blackbelly sheep selected as first place winner in the ASI
photo contest. The ASI (American Sheep Industry) generally ignores
hair sheep (in my opinion) and gives preferential treatment to wooled
breeds. Let's show 'em how beautiful and practical our sheep are.
Send your photos as instructed in the ASI's announcement below.
