Massachuettes Sheep And Wool Festival - Animals

Sheep competition at the MSW in Cummington, Massachuettes at the Memorial Day weekend.

Sheep are the stars, festival goers got to have pictures taken with them.

Though sheep are the stars, Alpaca are too cute not to be noticed.

Husbands can get lost when the wives are busy shopping or viewing the animals.

Show News From Maiko In Japan

Maiko reports good news from Japan. She participated in the May 22 show in Osaka and her broken Netherland Dwarf was awarded Best In Show by Judge Ruth D. of MN.

Would you believe that the Reserve In Show also went to Maiko's rabbit? It's her Jersey Wooly.

Under judge Anna D. Maiko's English Angora white Junior Buck won Best Junior In Show. This is a very important category in Japanese shows but it is not common in the US shows.

Judge Anna judges English Angora with the help of an interpreter.
