[Jacob-list] Naming

[Linda]

I agree - it's been really fun to read.  You can sure see how creative our Jacob breeders and how much fun we are all having naming our lambs and our farms.   

I would love to see a picture of your chicken coop.

> We will use real and fictional names, whichever seems to fit the
