Yes, a Shetland/Romney cross would'nt be a bad thing. The fleece
would be nice for spinning and a small ram produces easier lambing.
As for cruelty, i'm not so sure <grin>. The paradox of nature is
that rape/violence/love/motherhood/survival are all connected.

suggest the children earn spending money by selling the cockerels?

knock, knock <grin>. Yes, these are intense emotions and touchy
subjects. My personal philosophy covers it by viewing everything
as a balance. Too much testosterone creates problems as does
too little.

Good quote.... Another way to say philosophy without action is empty.
I ran into two quotes yesterday that caught my attention:
The place to improve the world is first in one's own
heart and head and hands, then work outward from there
-- Robert M. Prisig
To give up the task of reforming society is to give up
one's responsibility as a free man. -- Alan Paton
I like this last quote because it says something we tend to
forget. Our society remains "just" not by structure and rules
but by the actions of people. A police state results when
the people assume their rights are protected and stop
thinking.
