The 2 Jacob ewes I acquired were bred, or so I was told. I think one is prego but one I am not sure. They are due "the beginning of May" I was told.

Ma I think is with lamb.

Black Sheep I am unsure of.

What do you all think?

 

[damummis]

Not even one guess for me??

 

[DonnaBelle]

Well, here's a guess. I think the white and black one is for sure.

I don't know about the black one, wouldn't even venture a guess.

I do know one thing,

Time will Tell.

Both look pregnant to me. Beginning of May looks about right. FYI,I hope the person you bought them from didn't tell you they were purebred Jacobs. All purebred Jacobs have horns and are spotted. A Jacob bred to any other breed will give you spotted or black lambs.

Oh, the person I got them from was SO NOT honest about ANYTHING. Whole nother story.......

I'm really not sure. My ewe due at the beginning of may has quite the udder going on. It does look like Ma has a little udder, but really not sure on the darker one.

Well, for me at least, I keep a watch on the vulva. Not all ewes get big bags before birthing. About a month or so before they birth, the vulva starts looking different. It gets really large, and soft and spongy looking, and giggly. Think about how the vulva of cows look before birthing. It is the same way with ewes.

We just had our first White Dorper baby and the books said the vulva would get reddish just before birthing. WELL . . . it didn't. Her vulva is pink and the color did not change.

Our "Texas" Barbado have brownish vulvas and the color does not change before birthing.

Just check them at least twice a day to make sure the ewes do not need any help if they are pregnant and are birthing.

Aww, I really want some Jacob sheep. I've got a Suffolk/East Friesian cross ewe lamb and she's sort of a lavender freckly color, she's my fake Jacob. I'm hoping she keeps the color in her wool as she grows!

Either there is an alien in there or Ma has bad gas. I feel something move occasionally. Black Sheep is getting bigger too.

The suspense is killing me.
