                                       - 77 -                                         
               On brief, petitioners concede that no evidence was offered             
          to substantiate these claimed IRA deductions.                               
               Consequently, we sustain respondent's determinations in the            
          FPAA's that RCR #4 and RCR #6 are not entitled to their claimed             
          IRA deductions for the years in issue.  See Rules 142(a), 240(a).           
           Issue 6.  Capital Gains and/or Additional Farm Income                      
               In the respective FPAA's issued to RCR #4 and RCR #6 for the           
          tax years 1990 and 1991, respondent determined that (1) each                
          partnership had additional farm income from its transfer to                 
          Barnes Ranches of lambs produced by that partnership's breeding             
          flock, and (2) the income each partnership reported from the sale           
          of some of its breeding sheep was ordinary income, rather than              
          capital gains.                                                              
               As discussed supra in connection with Issue 1, the Court has           
          determined that RCR #4 and RCR #6 did not acquire the benefits              
          and burdens of ownership with respect to the breeding sheep they            
          purportedly acquired from Barnes Ranches.  As a result, RCR #4              
          and RCR #6 never owned for tax purposes any breeding sheep to               
          generate this income respondent determined they had for the years           
          in issue.  Accordingly, we hold that the fiscal year capital                
          gains and/or other farm income adjustments for 1990 and 1991                
          respondent determined against RCR #4 and RCR #6 cannot be                   
          sustained.                                                                  
               To reflect the foregoing and the parties' concessions,                 
                                                  Decisions will be entered           
                                             under Rule 155.
