[Jacob-list] Just curious...

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

Sherack Eve , is I believe my oldest producing ewe.  she is a 2000 model.  Raz and Delilah are in full retirement,  but take great pleasure in taunting the rams, by rubbing their hineys against the fences.  I believe I could breed Delilah without any trouble, but cant bring myself to do it.  Raz's last pregnancy was a tough one, but she gave us a spectacular ewe and ram lamb.... that we are really fond of!!!!!!

I'm also curious as to how old your producing ewes are. RubyBelle is 14 and raised twins at 13. I'm not breeding her now, though. I've had many produce at age 10 or older.

I have 2 old gals.. both are retired, fat and sassy.  Both are on an equine arthritis supplement and have free run of our place.
 
Sherak Razabeth is supposedly a 1992 model.  She is from an unknown pedigree.  On her papers, someone wrote DOB 1992.  She delivered triplets in 2008, and raised 2 of them.
 
Sherack Delilah is a 1994 model, verified with her DOB and pedigree.  She also looks young and spry, and delivered and raised twins in 2008.  Her ewe lamb is spectacular.. Grand Ewe at Estes Park!

I was just sitting around thinking of Jacob Sheep's longevity and got to wondering what the ages of the oldest currently living Jacobs might be.
