[Jacob-list] miniature jacobs

[Debbie Bennett]

A marketing ploy? They looked just like my herd. The only other time 
I've heard anyone mention miniature Jacobs was in connection to a 
certain person's flock - they weren't miniatures, just bred later (May 
lambs) and raised on pasture only, so they tended to grow more slowly. 
I purchased a couple ewes from this person and they matured to the same 
size as the rest of my flock.
