[Jacob-list] Jacob Sheep on Petfinder

[Meg Steensland]

        Sheep look like mine size-wise and younger than 6 months!  My friend Dennis reminds me that increased demand for market lambs relates directly to the marketability of Jacobs and other breeds.

  Was perusing petfinder.com and found 2 rescued Jacobs looking for a home.  I think this link will work, but if not, they are listed under "barn yard" animals.  They are in WA.

The link worked for me.  The one on the left in all three pictures appears to have forward tipping horns and wool forward of his horns, no wonder he was weathered.  The one on his right has ok upright horns, but I can't see a sign of his side horns at all.  I'd say they were culls, unless the wool is really exceptional, for a knitters flock, I find it pretty funny that they're available as rescues for $100 each.  

We sold a few at auction recently, but none that age, or of those markings, thank goodness.  :-)
