Is shedding definitely proven to be a "primitive" trait or is it more
related to nutrition or lack thereof?  If a shedding, primitive sheep
living in a primitive setting, fending for itself, is removed from that
environment, parasites treated, and fed a diet containing more
protein---would it still shed?  There are Jacob breeders with sheep who
shed - and breeders with sheep who have never shed -- is that condition
related just to genetics OR is nutrition a factor -- or is it both?  Or
don't we know?
