Glory is a June-born Romney whose mission in life has been to make a vet out of me. I won't go into particulars (I'm just going to do the effect on fleece, Ron) but in her determined effort to starve herself to death at the age of six months during Pennsylvania's worst winter ever (12 feet of snow, night after night at 10 to 15 below and one at 25 below), she fought every attempt to get food in her. As a result of this physical stress her fleece, which was then 3 or 4 inches long, "lifted" - just peeled away from her (hanging in tatters until it completely fell off - reminding me of Miss Haversham in her rotted wedding dress) and what was left behind was a smooth thin coat of newly growing wool over her whole body, as perfect as on a new-born lamb. So that's "break" to the extreme, but you get the idea. Carol To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
