Love the pics and I thinks those are her Jacobs

@ Stitch! The spotted sheep are my Jacobs. I love them and am going to look at some more Jacobs today. I have to get a replacement ewe for my Lottie.

We had a baby goat born last night and I THINK it might be our first Kiko Joe baby, but we're not 100% sure. He's big and has longer ears, plus much longer hair than the other boer babies that were born. He's cute and chunky!

Whats a Kiko? another breed?

Which of your sheep would be best suitable for stuffing hexipuffs?

Kiko is a breed of goat Stitch.

Hexipuff, now I had to google that! The best wool I have for stuffing things is the Dorset. Supposedly it makes great batting for comforters. I think it would make good stuffing for a hexipuff!

Oh did I tell you guys I got two new sheep? One is my Jacob Fluffy's mom! The other is a lamb that's part Jacob/part Icelandic I think. They said the Jacob is pregnant. But I'm not sure about that.

:bun more jacobs!

Does she have any udder development? Its so hard to tell when they're in full wool but unless she's lambing super late I'm not seeing it. Usually unless they are first time moms they get pretty wide and develop udders early. She's very pretty though, I love those horns! Nice and wide and strong.

Thanks Roving! I love her, but she's not very friendly. She looks just like her daughter Fluffy which I got last year. This is Fluffy with her little one, Friskie, who reminds me of your newest one Roving!



I did feel her udders when we picked her up and there was a little something there, but not much. It seems my Jacobs really have small udders and bag up fairly late in the game. I have another one due tomorrow! But with her wool I can't tell if she has an udder, either.

So.... We watch and wait. At least the weather has turned warm so having lambs now is not so much of a worry!

I am still waiting to see how my lamb's horns turn out. All of them are 4-horned, but they're not the best. Saturn's horns are fused on one side for sure, and they're not evenly spaced. The other two ewe lambs have spindly little horns, so we'll have to see how they go. Maybe breeding Uriah to 2-horned ewes is not the best way to go.
