were featured in Wolinsky's 40-page feature article. Julian and
Juliana Gayoso carried their alpaca for three days on a llama
train to an annual mountain festival that occurs during shearing
season that is actually a market, said Wolinsky. Each llama car
ried 25 pounds of alpaca. "We went into this little town, and the
road ends. It actually goes down into the jungle and into the
Amazon," explained Wolinsky. He captured the photo after the
alpaca had been sold. The garments the couple wore were
hand-woven.

share his photographs and expe
riences in his presentation.
Dr. Ron Pope from Texas, who
holds the last Ph.D. in wool sci
ence granted in this country, will
speak on fleece judging and
grading. During his presenta
tion participants will evaluate
fleeces for grade, yield, and
soundness. Pope will then judge
the fleece and provide individual
fleece evaluations in a separate
workshop.
A breeds display will present
an opportunity to see more than
30 different breeds of sheep in
one place. Display presenta
tions will explain each breed's
characteristics, advantages, and
disadvantages. A parade of
breeds will include rare and
exotic as well as more popular
breeds of sheep.
New to the festival this year
is a club lamb jackpot. Wether
and ewe lambs will be shown in
Wolinsky photographed this half-shorn Marino ewe in New
Zealand. "First I tried in Australia," he explained. "We were dri
ving along the road and we saw a pen of sheep a woman was
keeping. She hadn't sheared them in 18 months. The shearer I
brought with me was game, so we tried shearing one. He had to
stop and think how to shear just half a sheep. The sheep was
so woolly and dirty when he finished it fell over on it's side and
it lay there, pedaling at the air. It couldn't get up. We tried a cou
ple more times, then I realized we needed a much better orga
nized effort. I went to New Zealand, where a rancher set aside
100 ewes. The crew got an enormous piece of canvas and paint
ed it with waterproof house paint, so it could be sponged off
between sheep. This is the 30th sheep."

four classes divided by weight.
The jackpot is geared toward
youth showing market lambs at
county fairs, according to Robert
Dinsmore, president of the
Maryland Sheep Breeders
Association, and will have an
educational focus. "The primary
goal is to kind of let the kids
know where they are. To give
them some pointers on feeding;
and let them know how the
lambs are coming along. We're
excited about that."
A carcass contest and feeder
lamb sale are also scheduled for
those interested in the meat
breeds. Carcass data from the
contest will be available for dis
play in the food building. The
contest gives people a better
understanding of what to look
for in a meat-type animal, 1
according to Mr. Dinsmore.
There is no admission charge
for the festival, and parking is
free
