[Jacob-list] names?

Linda,
 
Our farm name derived from two things: 1) We have lots of animals that are  
multi-colored from our paint horses, to the dominique, wyandotte & columbia  
chickens to our spotted Jacobs! 2) This area of WV that I live in is  known 
"unofficially" as Boulder --we GROW rocks around here!  Hence the  name, Painted 
Rock Farm!  I know, not all that original but it suits us.  )
 
As far as our sheep names go, we purchased our beginning ewe flock  from 
Brindle Hill Farm in PA.  At that time, they had adopted using  the alphabet for 
lamb names -- their first sheep born as Brindle Hill lambs  began with "A".  
When we bought our sheep, we purchased 2 yearlings  (C names) and 3 lambs, which 
we named with "D" names.  We merely  continued the tradition for our lambs 
too!  Of course, many of our  adult sheep within our foundation flock, as well 
as other lines we have brought  in, don't adhere to this but all of our lambs 
produced do.  The  same with tails -- any sheep in our flock that has a tail 
was not born  here; we dock tails.
 
HINT:  Baby name website's are an excellent source for names and their  
meanings!  They have been indispensable to me when choosing our names each  year!  
This year, we are on the letter "K".  In years past, "I" was  probably the 
toughest name to search for names.
