[Jacob-list] Shedding Jacob with no spots??????

[Meg Steensland]

Shedding wool from Jacobs - yes, I got some from a Jamestown OH breeder that tended to shed if not shorn (they missed getting sheared that year).  Jacobs vs Churros - yes - have both (just got Churros in Nov)  All the ewes I have (9) are polled - OK by the breed std.  All three of thae adult rams I have seen are 2H.  I have 5 2008 lambs and it is too early to tell polled/horned.  There are other Churro breeders also on this list - like Ingrid and Karen (I think) as well as Nikyle Begay.

I forwarded it on to one of my neighbors because I'm not sure if she's still on the list, she stopped keeping Jacob Sheep.  Any chance those are Navajo Churros?  There were some down here (Umpqua valley  way south of where they are in Oregon) that I thought for years were Jacob Sheep with really rotten confirmation.  Bad spotting, bad horns, no horns for some ewes -- they turned out to be Churros with different breed standards.  Not my sheep, but people like them.

"Perhaps the biggest change will come
When we don't have to change much at all.
When maniacs holler "grow, grow, grow"
We can choose to be small.
The key word may be "little,"
We only have to change a little bit.
Eat a little food, drink a little drink,
. . . "
