[blackbelly] Re: nameS changing

[Rick Krach]

"American Blackbelly!"  Wow, this is great news, but I won't let myself get 
carried away to the point of singing again! The amount of confusion that 
will now be avoided is un-estimate-able!  Carol, everything you posted about 
the new names, from association name change to "Barbado" for the third group 
of sheep is perfect. I'd like to see your concise list of does and don'ts be 
put right at the top of all the appropriate web-sites, or at least the many 
that you have worked with.

Thanks to all the BBSAI members for making that good change. I myself have 
no more excuse for not joining BBSAI.

Now, to use the right name for the first time, I'll respond to the donkey 
vs. dog comments.  I have a guard-donkey, and she is wonderful. She is 
friendly enough to come to me whenever I walk into the pasture and she has 
never picked up a lamb. Dozens of lambs have been born in my two acre 
pasture. So, you probably don't have to worry about getting people-attached. 
 And, yes, I have seen her pick up a full grown American Blackbelly ram, 
despite his huge curling horns, when he tried to push her around!  He 
learned his lesson.

I wanted to let everyone know that members of the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep 
Association Meeting voted in their Annual Meeting to use the name American 
Blackbelly when referring to horned bloodlines of Barbado sheep that meet 
breed standard and are registered with the Association.

I will be redesigning the BBSAI's Web site to reflect this change and
strongly encourage all members of this listserv to practice using the new
name....
