You can't make this up...

Quote:

Australian scientists have called on the country's farmers to report any ugly sheep found in their flocks.

A campaign called "Xtreme sheep" aims to study sheep with undesirable wool features to unlock the genetic makeup of the prized merino and ensure production of its high quality fleece.

I just don't know what else there is to say... except baaaaaaaaa....

They should just talk to the sheep herders, they should know the ugly sheeps.

Somehow, there's got to be a joke about the Queer Eye guys in there, but I can't find it... perhaps someone else can.

Australia. Where men are men, and the sheep are ugly.

Thanks B [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] That really put a smile on my face. It'll be interesting to see the response from across the Tasman. Maybe it's a ploy to get more kiwi shearers over here...
