Re: sheep.....
A show sheep should be woolly and white with four legs. The four legs should ,preferably, be facing downwards , not upwards !

Re: sheep.....
I think the white part is important coz you dont want to be the black sheep of the show scene.

Re: sheep.....
Ahhh right, you're in the Ottawa Valley aren't you Mayjay? Where the men are men, the sheep are nervous, and the women are sleeping alone.

It all depends on the breed, much the same as in the cow world - some cows look good, some are just plain ugly, ditto for sheep
Yep, I'd agree with that. 
Much like the cow showing world, it's more to do with politics and who's holding the animal, than the quality of the animal. As with the dairy shows, it should be viewed as an "interesting distraction", far removed from commercial reality.
Good luck in your endeavours. If you want to buy into the breed that is cleaning up in all the Interbreeds this year, let me know. 
Mark, a wise old shepherd once told me that rare breeds were usually rare for a reason.
