you will find that sheep nor goats will bring you a profit. unless you are maybe a big rancher? it is purley the love and hobby for me. Save back your ewe lambs so you dont have to purchase new stock....

They are capable of having anywere from 2-7 horns.

how about jacobs!!!??? one of the best meat tastes you can get from the sheep world, lean carcass and just awesome animals overall, with one of the best fleeces for handspinning i always sell out of my fleece right away. the photos speak for themselves, i did like the scottish blackface flock...

her horns got big! nice pics ;)

wow, please use a band next time, and every time after that. much much easier and less pain on the lamb, wich i dont think he could of had any more pain during the method you used. (comming from a male) no other male should have to endure that kind of procedure. Just use the tail elastics....and...

She did a great job, and it is a little ewe lamb. 4 horned....even comming from a 2 horn mom, ill get some updated photos tomorrow shes very nice ill be keepign her for my flock

I met jennifer at the Annual meeting in Oregon a month ago. She is very scientific and knows her stuff, seems to keep nice jacobs too. congrats on your new purchases, get involved with the JSBA!

Your jacob ewe will not do any harm to anything, except maybe a new sheep you introduce her to and only then would it maybe try to set its place in the pecking order with a few headbutts. Male Jacob rams are the only ones to worry about, they could kill eachother if two mature rams are together...

Here she is, this is why i love the jacobs...they breed all year long, cylcing every 21 days until they are bred first time mom with her baby, very protective and instinctive mothers. walked out and there she is. no help needed like all the primitive breeds.

I turn my back to my big ram all the time, scratch his chin and am always rough with him pulling him by his horns when i need to move him. i know my animals and he wouldnt ever use them as a weapon so you can speak for others yes, but not mine. i wouldnt have any liability issues...because he...

They are great! i need some ;)

nice ram but i prefere mine! :P

To answer your question about the horns....NO! they dont use them in a bad way. in fact i prefer them to handle them it makes them 10x easier to catch and work with. Handles for sure. Get some!

I have a large flock, contact me via email Josh www.fiercehornfarm.com fiercehornfarm@yahoo.com

what good are they for? Josh www.fiercehornfarm.com

Ive got a large flock, check them out at www.fiercehornfarm.com they are very hardy, lamb without any problems, and tak less grain then most breeds. i only give small amount during the winter and before lambing. Hay is all they need if not grass during spring summer and fall. Here are someof...

Jacobs are more ornamental, not commercial as you describe your setup to be. I am focusing on a small herd of maybe 30 breeders and showing the best lambs. The culls will be meat with improper horns and markings.

yes like a light gray

yes the better the markings/wool/horns the more money they are. Breeders often give discounts to people who want to promote the breed and bloodlines. I plan to sell mine around 300$ for showing and wool purposes. They are a really cool breed to raise. i enjoy mine alot.

i raise jacob sheep too, and althought i donot have any lilacs, i know what it is. they are just a tad lighter were the black would be. some people like them and keep them to breed but i like the blacker spots. Thats the only difference
