Yes, I am a new member but found your resources exceptional being from Barbados 
and all was great to see others other there who love the blackbelly sheep as 
much as I do. 

Is there a Facebook page I am unaware of that I join instead? 

Regards,

Leandra Jones

Dear Carol:
I'm sure I join the rest of the list 
membership in sincerely thanking you for having both begun as well as having 
tirelessly and productively having maintained this most beneficial list for all 
blackbelly sheep lovers. Your encouragement and good information helped many of 
us get a good start with this magnificent animal, as well as provided us all 
with an excellent shared medium for discussion and mutual assistance.
While the list will no longer be up, I'm sure our associations made on the list 
will continue.
Thanks very much, again, Carol.
Sincerely,
Erik Christy, Oregon

[Blackbelly] Times change and it is time to close the Listserv

[Carol Elkins]

Dear Listserv members,

The Blackbelly Listserv was first created in 2001, and it has served 
a vital role in helping stabilize both the Barbados Blackbelly and 
American Blackbelly sheep breeds. It has provided a meeting place for 
a friendly community of breeders to discuss problems, answer 
questions, and generally provide support to each other.


Messages have decreased considerably during the last two years, 
largely due to newer social media tools such as Facebook that can 
better serve member needs. This is as it should be---after all, this 
Listserv was born because in 2001 the only resource available to 
breeders was a clunky bulletin board.


It is time to move on, so I will be shutting the Blackbelly Listserv 
down on October 1, 2017. You will always be able to search the 
group's archives at 
https://www.mail-archive.com/blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info/


It has been a privilege working with the oldtimers who have 
contributed their time by responding to list messages and the newbies 
who were courageous enough to ask questions. It has been a joy 
working with such a great group of friendly and helpful people. We 
have never had a serious disagreement; no one has ever been flamed or 
gotten out of line. What a great group of people you are!


So my heartfelt thank you to each of the 265 current members in this 
list. I wish you continued success with your blackbelly sheep. There 
is no more beautiful sheep in this world than a blackbelly 
sheep--regardless of which blackbelly breed it is.
