Sheep on the Farm


Our registered Jacob Sheep have arrived on the farm.  Jacob Sheep are thought to be the spotted sheep that Jacob bred back in the Old Testament.  Cool, huh?  They look interesting with with their black and white fleece and multiple horns.  Jacobs can have up to 5 horns but ours are either 2 horned or 4 horned.  They are very tame, all of them eating out of our hand except one.


These eight sheep are our breeding sheep and all are bred except one.  Ziggy will be held over till next year before she lambs because she was too young.

Ziggy

And speaking of lambs, our first ones are due to arrive the first week of February. We are hoping for several sets of twins.  Locker lamb will be available in the future, once we establish our flock.
