[Jacob-list] udders ...

[Beatrice A. Gilbert]

I  am in search of a Jacob  ewe lamb for my daughter to raise for 4-H this year.  We currently have two ewes and a ram and would like to increase our "flock".  I am considering attending the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival this weekend, and will be attending the New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival next weekend.  If any of you will have ewe lambs for sale at those shows, please let me know.  Ideally the lamb would be about a couple of months old.  Also if you have a farm in New England and have a ewe lamb for sale, I would also like to hear from you.

  We used a ram lamb last fall and one of the ewes had to explain it to him. It was really funny.  She in heat, but he just would sniff her and look confused.  She went through all the moves, even doing the front leg pawing (never can spell that word), the little talking noise and finally mounting the ram.  A light bulb went off in his little boy brain and twin lambs were born 147 days later.  I've seen ewes mount the ram, but never seen one go through all the preliminary moves.
