First, I have a 2005 lilac ram lamb from Heather and can attest that she has nice stock!
Second, I too have a lot of nice ewe lambs 6 2horn and only 3 4horn left so maybe we could make it worthwhile for someone from out of state to come to OH this year for Jacobs. I only have one good ram lamb (2horn) left - best one sold a few weeks ago to a MI guy along with 2 nice 4horn ewes. I also have 2005 registered stock (2E 1R) available (all 3 come with Breed CH or Reserve CH ribbons from fairs here and the Reserve ewe from last year's lambs is at Ohio State Fair right now in the Grimshaw Exhibit). Unlike Heather, I do not absolutely NEED to sell these lambs, SO PLEASE BUY FROM HER FIRST and consider mine only if you seek 2-Horn stock. - I have made up a pdf brochure with pictures (that is at the fair too) that I can email you privately.

I am not ready to get rid of my Jacobs yet but I need to do a major reduction this year. I have too many and am having problems managing them all. I know summer isnt ideal for moving sheep but at least its before breeding season.
I plan to keep my ram, most senior ewes and a couple ewe lambs my kids are attached to and we are showing at the fair. I dont care so much about selling ram lambs or wethers as Ive got orders for meat but I do have 3 nice 4 horned ram lambs if anyone is interested.
I have a lot of nice ewe lambs this year. All are 4 horned, a couple have nicer long fleeces but all the fleeces are nice. One is very large with a nice textured but shorter fleece. I have a triplet with really nice fleece but light face markings. Two have forward pointing top horns and weak side horns. I have them priced out between 100 and 200 but will discount for multiple purchases. Let me know if you want pictures or more information.
Magnolia (adult ewe) - 4 strong horns, nice long fleece, dark and freckled, good mother
Magnollias ewe lamb - beautiful long fleece 4 horns
Magnolias ram lamb - 4 strong striped horns places very nicely, lighter face markings, nice fleece
Periwinkle (adult ewe) - lilac 4 horns, top horns point forward,side horns weak , probably scurs, nice fleece, good mother
Periwinkles darker ewe carries lilac, forward top horns, weak side horns
Periwinkles lighter ewe Carries lilac smaller and nicer fleece than sister sith similar horns
Hazels ewe Marilyn Twin - long dark fleece, very pretty, 4 horns
