Requirement · part of 6. ONE of six options, and three of them hide months of work

6(D). Option D, Sheep or Goat

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 6: which ONE of the six options?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Choose one animal and do all five parts based on that choice. Part 4 is where the months are.

Note. The sheep-or-goat choice changes how all five parts are read but removes none of them: you sketch a lamb OR a goat, and define the terms for one OR the other. That is why this plan asks about 6(D)(4) but not about sheep versus goat.

What this is made of

6(D)(1). Sketch a live lamb or goat with its cuts
6(D)(2). How wools are sorted and graded
6(D)(3). Products made from the milk
6(D)(4). Raise one, or visit a farm
6(D)(5). The terms for whichever you chose
