Diane Bentley-Baker Crossed Over the RAINBOW BRIDGE A Publication of Northwest Regional Spinner’s Association September 2013 The local fiber arts community lost a dear friend last night. Diane Bentley-Baker crossed over the RAINBOW BRIDGE. I will remember her as a brilliant, nutty professor of natural dying… and a master spinner. I will salute Diane as I teach a Natural Dye- ing Class tomorrow at Eugene Textile Center. Happy Trails Diane! We will miss you........ JANIS I received this email from Janis Thompson this morning about the passing of Diane Bentley Baker and wanted to ensure that all the area directors were informed. Diane was our president for two terms and a great advocate for NWRSA. I attended a camp for natural dyes in the Oregon coastal range many years ago and still treasure the images of a line of dyed yarns and finished object hanging between the trees. I well remember her reported "whoop of glee" in the theater to indigo dyed fabric in the movie Troy staring Brad Pitt. Only a true dye fanatic could appreciate that the color was true indigo and not a chemical dye. My thoughts are with her family at this time. Beth Witters 1 Table of Contents 1.

  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Farm Animals and Farming: Part 1
    A GUIDE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE: FARM ANIMALS & FARMING by Hunter Adair Farm animals and farming: Part 1 When you are out in the countryside in the summer, you will see a great variety of animals running about in the fields, and if you happen to be travelling in the Dales, or in the hills you will mostly find sheep and probably suckler cattle, which are cows with their calves running with them. Some sheep are bred for the high hills and areas where the land is much less fertile than on the lowland farms. The hill bred sheep are hardy and can stand a great deal of rough weather. In the winter when a blizzard or snow storm is forecast the sheep will come down Judging Blue Face Leicester from the hill tops on their own to lower ground and shelter, they seem to know when a storm sheep at The Royal Highland is coming. Show In Edinburgh There are over 50 breeds of sheep in this country and many people from the towns and cities think one sheep is just like another. All the different breeds of sheep have their own characteristics and peculiarities. Some sheep are pure bred and some sheep are cross bred to get a particular lamb, which a farmer may prefer, and which may suit his farm. Some breeds of sheep have been developed in certain parts of the country and in certain areas, and the name of the sheep is taken from the district where they were born and bred. In Scotland for instance they have numerous breeds of sheep which are all different.

  • 1 a Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock
    A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock Richard Yarwood* and Nick Evans+ * School of Geography, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA. [email protected] 01752 233083 + Centre for Rural Research Department of Applied Sciences, Geography and Archaeology, University College Worcester, Henwick Grove, Worcester, WR2 6AJ. 01905 855197 [email protected] Abstract This paper uses Bourdieu’s (1977) concept of habitus to examine human-animal relationships within capitalist agricultural systems. The first part of the paper examines how Bourdieu’s ideas have been used by academics to provide insights into the ways that livestock affect and are affected by farming practice. The second part builds on these conceptual, empirical and policy insights by examining some of the national and international social networks that contribute to human-animal relationships in capitalistic farming. It focuses on a case study of Welsh livestock and, in particular, the historic and contemporary roles that breed societies play in the imagination of farm animals and the creation of capitals in agriculture. 1 A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock ‘The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter; And so we deemed it meeter To take away the latter.’ „The War-Song of the Dinas Vawr‟ Thomas Love Peacock (1829) Introduction The relationships between animals, locality and society have come under increased scrutiny by geographers (Philo, 1995; Wolch and Emel, 1995; Wolch, 1998; Philo and Wilbert, 2000). An emerging body of literature is critically reappraising the place of animals within capitalist agricultural systems, reflecting the three main trajectories of animal geography (Whatmore, 2000).

  • Norse Influences in Sheep Husbandry on Foula, Shetland
    NORSE INFLUENCES IN SHEEP HUSBANDRY ON FOULA, SHETLAND John R. Baldwin After colonisation, and as raiding gradually died away, Norse settlers in the north Atlantic looked to a seasonal pattern of fa,rming, herding, hunting and fishing. The balance of activities obviously varied according to environment - the further north the settlement, .the greater the emphasis on pastoralism and hunting, and the lesser the emphasis on arable cultivation. A look at the historical Farnes will show that they were on the very fringe of adequate barley cultivation, and that oats were a little beyond effective cultivation (Landt 1810. 286). Consequently, although arable was important to the Farnese and there was always a little domestic fishing, traditionally they have looked more to livestock husbandry, sea-bird fowling, and hunting the small ca'ing whale for basic survival (Coull 1967. 160). Shetland, however, had a somewhat kinder climate, It was a little further south, less mountainous, and had better grass and moorland. Cultivation has generally played a larger role there, though to nothing like the same extent as in Orkney; and fishing has been particularly important. This has meant a markedly smaller dependence on e.g. fowling and whale-hunting - food sources that became valuable mainly just at certain times of th<:; year, in late spring, summer and autumn, before the harvesting of the new season's crops (Baldwin 1974. 96, 98). Nonetheless, certain parts of Shetland bear a close resemblance to the.Farnes - e.g. parts of Northmavine, Unst, Fair Isle and Foula. · Foula [Fig. 10.1] is some 27 miles west of Scalloway; 16-17 miles from the nearest poi:pt of Shetland's Westside.
