[Jacob-list] fleece

[Meg Steensland]

Danke shone fur ihre bilden (pix of sheep) Ich mochte am besten Siwa, dann Jano, dann Sanja.  Lovely pictures!  Nice chickens too.
   
  Sorry my German (~ 1963) is not much better than my Latin.
   
  I found when I put a spotted llama in with the spotted sheep they blended in, so I switched to solid or paint llamas and everyone stands out better.This is in my road-show pasture.  In the back, I house whomever I want

  Hello
First thanks a lot for all of you which helped me in this wonderful breed. I 
now have all my
lambs of the ewes which I imported in December from the north of Germany. 
Unfortunately one
lamb died during or after birth. I did not see it. But the other 5 are doing 
well and you can see
them on
http://www.wildwillow.ch/l%E4mmer_2008.htm

If you klick on the small picture on the right side you can see the fleece 
of each lamb. They
are very different and I am wondering if you see which can be best.

Jano ist a 4 Horn ram the others I am not sure. I would say that Siwa could 
be a 4 Horn ewe and
the rest two horns. I will wait to see more. Oreon has like his mother a 
right blue eye.

On the same page (far down) I put a picture of a hen in. This is nearly a 
must for Jacobbreeder...hihihi! It is
a very old swiss breed called Appenzeller Spitzhaube. They exist in two oder 
colors. But this
is the one which fits best to Jacobs, isn't it?
