Oh boy! Thank you! >>They trace all the down breeds to John Ellman of Glynde in East Sussex in the >>late 18th century, producing the Southdown. Other down breeds listed are >>Oxford Down, Shropshire, Hampshire, Dorset Down, Ryeland and the Southdown >>(125 lbs and listed as the smallest). Okay, enough of this and I haven't even checked the Okla State site on the web - my favorite source of livestock information. But I did see somewhat of a consistency in Down breeds from the Downs.......... <<
I think this thread started out with someone stating that it would be more accurate/correct to refer to the Down breeds as 'Downs' breeds. Or words to that effect. It looks like it's still accurate to refer to them as 'Down' rather than 'Downs'. It's been fascinating to read the various pieces of information. I'm down with calling the Down breeds Down, no 's'. wrnk d2 (on hip hop overload) To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
