[Jacob-list] MSWF

I just saw the following as part of a post on another list, referring to the 
Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival:

>I fully agree with the spin-lister who commented on

>isolated to just sheep tho.

It was my first trip to MSWF and I looked at all the Jacobs more than once.  I 
didn't see any hornless, oversized Jacobs.  Maybe she was referring to the 
Harlequins?? - they were big, hornless and spotted.
