		hmm..Ems' can answer your question better than I however, as a OSS judge I perfer a profile view that shows all four feet on the ground and the person taking the picture standing far enough away that you can see the entire lamb and aim the camera directly in the direction of the last rib....three quarter shots distort the true length of side... for the rear view, stand directly behind the lamb at a distance that you can see the entire lamb with camera held high enough that you can see width and rack shape, as well as loin width and shape and depth of twist... pictures taken on trimming stands are okay, however, the lamb looks better if posed braced with all four feet touching the ground with legs and feet properly placed square under the corners... From a personal standpoint I appreciate pictures taken the same day with the same handler and same photographer...OG

		She looks round in her loin edge, a tick tight and deep in her forerib, and a bit open at the top of her shoulder. In addition she has unsightly wrinkles over her loin and it may just be the pictures but she appears to be a little shorter coupled than I like my ewes.

		holliterman36: I knew you couldn't stay away! shes out of your favorite ram too... the big gutless wonder so you say, the one that won his class at Louisville 2 years ago. she's not great, and she's been living a life of grass (well really hay, we don't have any grass) and pellets. She's geared for slick sheared sheep production, not wether sheep production. I don't want to 'ruin' the breed ;)

		or visa-versa... I'm not going to lie... Or columbia, or southdown, or visa-versa. or suffolk, or dorset, or many other crazy, un-thought of breeds... It's all in there.. Face it, not a purebred sheep left in this country, and most certainly not one involved somehow with showing. is the production of NS sheep more of a concern than the production of crossed up purebreds? I suppose one kills, the other doesn't...

		Ok, I appologize and Crystal has more sense than to do that anyway. Sarcasm does not show up well in print. However there are certain people who are continually negative on here, do not want to conform with what we are trying to teach kids in order for them to be successful in the club lamb rings across the country, and are openly critical of judges or judging styles. Funny I call it as I see it and get criticized, however the frame, commercial or specialty breed guys can muddy the water for these kids all they want and that is fine.
	lm1668	Posted 08/23/12 10:41AM  Changed 00/00/00 12:00AM
		The introduction to this site says its for breeding sheep and market lamb project members alike. It's suppose to be where they can get answers from some of the top club lamb AND purebred sheep breeders around. The real problem is when we expect people to conform to our thoughts. This site has become a click where people seek the approval of others to back their beliefs and then the majority attacks the non conformers. Most thoughts that aren't popular will go away if not antagonized. The truth always sorts itself out. JMO
	EmsoffLambs	Posted 08/23/12 10:50AM  Changed 00/00/00 12:00AM
		Alright, here's my take on this. Yes, I do have more sense than to give Vance the sheep after a comment like he made. However, I do believe that Jody didn't post the lamb here to get it entered in the Online Sheep Show but rather to get a rise out of all of us. Why else would he post the pictures here rather than just asking how to enter them? 10 year olds have been able to figure out how to properly enter pictures in the Online Sheep Show. Now, I've only recently heard the term troll in the internet context and I looked it up on Wikipedia yesterday. Here's what it says about trolls: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. They want to promote antipathetic emotions of disgust and outrage, which morbidly gives them a sense of pleasure...Trolling is a game about identity deception, albeit one that is played without the consent of most of the players. The troll attempts to pass as a legitimate participant, sharing the group's common interests and concerns...A troll can disrupt the discussion on a newsgroup, disseminate bad advice, and damage the feeling of trust in the newsgroup community." I'd sure say Jody fits this description. He posts inflammatory and downright disrespectful comments and gives bad, even dangerous advice, gets kicked off, comes back under a different username, sticks around long enough to gain a little trust and then repeats the cycle. How many times has this occurred? A good half dozen at least. I personally find it pathetic that someone would keep sneaking back to a place where clearly no one wants him, but when I read this, I realize it's a pathological anti-social behavior. With all this said, the advice to ignore him once again seems the best course of action. He wants a rise out of everyone. Feeding into that is just giving him what he wants.
	SnarkyArkie	Posted 08/23/12 11:02AM  Changed 08/23/12 11:06AM
		Vance, I appreciate someone that says what's on their mind much more than someone that says it behind your back. At least that way you can take a step back and try to become better person, breeder or showman. In Jodys case I don't think it much matters, but there are those of us that do try to use the advice and don't think we know it all. Jody has been a pain in the can for far too many years on this site. Most of us know not to pay him much mind, those that just find the site might be more influenced by his comments.
	westtex	Posted 08/23/12 01:02PM  Changed 00/00/00 12:00AM
		Guess I did not realize who Jody was or his guise when I posted that statement. Just the comments on this and the post about Jordan, kinda got my ire up. Guess it does not take too long for a persons character to show up. Lee, I am not anti-purebred, as showing breeding sheep is going to pay for a good bit of my kids education. I certainly agree with your last two statements. However, I feel certain that giving good advice and selecting the right types of sheep to perpetuate a flock is why the online classes continue to improve and hopefully our readers projects are as well. It sickens me to see lambs and/or breeding sheep that should be in a commercial flock or at the sale barn sold to new beginning feeders as projects because they simply do not know better and vultures are out there willing to inject their sheep in a kid or family for a little profit over the market price those sheep are worth. A new family having a bad experience has two options...live to fight and improve next year, or they get out of the program and we never see or hear from them again. Now I have completely bit on this and given the "Trolls" exactly what they want. By the way Crystal thanks for explaining that to me. I am sure OG and I are too far out of the technical loop to have ever gotten that.

		I guess I don't get the whole 'showing sheep for college money' thing.. I've been through it myself.. Showed at more shows, with more sheep than most kids do at my age.. 30 county fairs a summer, 3 state fairs, and 100 sheep to each county fair. I ended my junior career, barely breaking even at the end-- even with 50 some brood ewes to my name. Kids showing have 2 options the way I see it: Buy your lambs, buy your feed, do the work-- barely break even at the end of the summer, and pocket some extra money from your 'premium sale'. Enough to buy next year's lamb usually, give or take. Or Parent's buy your lamb, parent's buy your feed, you do the work, and you get to keep all the profit from showing, and the sale of the lamb. But what does that do? Why don't the parent's just pay for college?

		Jody, maybe if you packed better sheep to the fairs you went to, you wouldn't need to pack 100 head. I know plenty of people that have a living showing less sheep, they can do this by showing good/great sheep, not every sheep in their area they go find good ones. So do yourself a favor and spend more time making your sheep better, finding better ones, and less time posting under another name every 6 months.

		Funny how John found the pictures from the history page of our website. Most typically, history pages contain the original (quality) lacking sheep and work their way up to the present to show progression of quality. Here: to get a better understanding of what's CURRENTly going on- check this link out folks: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.550300015216.24574.301500492&type=3 Hey Mike- sad as it is... We've won our share at county, state and national shows. I used to clear 1k a week showing that many sheep, that was the days of $1. corn, and $2. fuel. ETA: You'd better reread my comments above 16 posts if you think, that I think- or know of my sheep being 'pure'.

		Jody, I vaguely remember looking at your "wins" a year or so ago that you often brag about. Single entry classes and classes of 9 with all 9 being your sheep is not much to brag about considering one of your sheep HAS to win by law of probability. Maybe thats why you chose to show Oxfords... for lack of competition. Everytime you have come here, people including myself look at your site to see if you made any improvements that warrant your constant bragging. Looks to me that your sheep are still suffering from Noazatol.

Laugh all you want, that little skinny buck, lived all winter on bean stubble, and CRP hay with 4 mature rams more than a foot taller than him. For arguement's sake-- b/c I like doing so. Here's a picture taken about 2 weeks after the one you posted- You'll say he's got wool grown back- but check out his armpit-- still there.. about 3 weeks worth of wool, and green grass... http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p29/kfacres/cmcbracedgoodyr.jpg Does Vance even have sheep anymore?

		"I'd like to point out you all like to say he's immature and boorish, and yet many exhibit simular or worse behavior on this post. If I was a new parent and saw this, my kids would never be allowed on this site" so a few people that are otherwise very helpful, respectful and positive on this site 99.9% of the time respond negatively to this clown on this single post and THATS the reason you wouldn't allow your kids on this site?? Nevermind the negativity Jody spews on several posts every time he comes back, or the incredible amount of misinformation given by "experts". I don't allow my kids on this site unsupervised because its hard enough for us less experienced adults to sift through the good and bogus information let alone let my kid think he can trim hooves with a pair of scissors or washing lambs with bleach to rid fungus. I used to recommend this site to a bunch of kids which I no longer do. I do recommend this site to the parents but with a disclaimer to research all advice outside of a few people that I do trust to give correct information, some of them have posted above. Thanks to those people, we have learned to sort the good advice from the not so good. I think there is value in Jody's knowledge but who can stand his arrogance long enough to actually get to that value?

		Jody's comments might be mean and childish, but so are the majority of the "regular" posters here. I quit commenting because I am tired of the rudeness and immaturity of a lot of folks on here. Kids and parents get on here looking for help and have been ignored or have been given some pretty bad advice lately, but let someone say something against the clique and it gets lots of attention.....or better yet let one of the clique complain about something and lots of support it generated by the rest of the clique. People on this board have lost sight of what this site should be for. Perhaps that's why this place is a joke to many in the show world. The old saying is true.....when you point a finger at someone else.....you always have 3 pointing back at you. Those good folks on here.....keep your heads up and thank you for helping and supporting so many through out the years. Those haters, fire starters and ones who think they are the greatest thing since the wheel was invented need to re-examine their lives a little if they want to hang around this site.
