[Jacob-list] Lamb photos and a combo lamb....

[fourhornfarm]

Karen,

      I ran a search on the pedigrees of sire and dam and since there are no lilacs in the dam's pedigree the lilac spots must have come from the sire's side, although you would think the dam would have to be a lilac carrier also for two black and white Jacobs to produce a lamb with any lilac spots. It will be quite interesting to see what she looks like as she ages and especially right after her first shearing next Spring. I hope you will keep us all posted with pictures.

  Greetings,
  We're finished lambing here and lamb photos are now available on our website at www.bideaweefarm.com/2009JacobLambs.htm 

  We got one really interesting Jacob ewe lamb this year who has both grey and black spots.  When she was first born we thought that dried afterbirth was making some of her black wool look grey but once we saw her in the daylight we realized she actually had both black and grey spots.  The grey spots have faded some since birth.  You can find photos of her at www.bideaweefarm.com/Colors.htm.  We've never seen this before in our flock.  Have any of you?
