Guide to Fiber Intensive: Panama

When Carol Ekarius and I were researching The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, we learned about, but couldn't find fiber for, a breed called Panama. It was developed from the same combination of breeds, Lincoln and Rambouillet, but the reverse of the cross that produced the Columbia. This document tells the story of the breed, explains why we couldn’t find any, and talks about transhumance, which is the long-standing worldwide practice with some flocks of moving sheep from one environment to another seasonally.
