[Jacob-list] Limnaki Flock

[Williams Family]

The Limnaki flock was one of the early Jacob flocks in the Pacific Northwest. Bette and David Heimann had a large flock of Jacobs and Shetlands on their farm on the San Juan islands. They were very active breeders and transported sheep all over the country. David was president of JSBA. He died suddenly (after a "heated" discussion about sheep as Black Sheep Gathering, I'm told) in the early 90's, I think. Bette wasn't able to manage the farm herself and the flock was dispersed or died out. Last i heard from Bette in the mid-90's, she was moving to New Zealand.

  While working on my website putting in pedigrees... I noticed that there is quite a bit of this flocks influence in mine... I went thru the pedigree search and notice that there hasn't been any registered in some time, so I assume that they are no longer breeding.. Can anyone give me history of this flock?  One of my flock sires is a Lillywold ram who seems to have lots of Limnaki blood...  On that note.. Two Bit shows up in another flock sire as a flock prefix.

  Im still learning so much about these sheep, and would be interested in any history of these bloodlines someone could offer
