Roving Jacobs
Seeing Spots
I haven't been around much because it turns out running a farm and being in grad school at the same time is a lot of work! But I took a bunch of sheep pictures recently and thought the sheeple here might enjoy them.
Willow, a 2016 ewe lamb.
Jazz, the ewe in my userpic. She's turning 12 this year and still just as fat and sassy as ever.
Reba, who has such a sweet face. She was a freebie that came with my new ram because she only ever has 2 horned lambs for some reason and the owner wanted more 4 horned lambs.
Mimosa, another 2016 ewe lamb.
Twofer! He's my giant teddybear of a wether and basically the farm mascot. If you get The Shepherd magazine he was in the December issue in the article about jacobs.
The new boy, Glen. I really like how solid black his fleece stays. He's a nice, hardy primitive guy and I can't wait to see what his lambs look like.
Aster, a Jazz daughter and Mimosa's dam. She has such an attitude but her lambs are always nice so I keep her around.
Jewel, a Jazz granddaughter and Willow's dam. She's a princess and loves neck rubs but only at her invitation.
I hope you enjoyed my silly, spotty sheep! I like all my breeds but the jacobs are just so special. The jacob association annual meeting is close enough for me to drive there this year and I'm really hoping I have to time to go!
