[Jacob-list] Black Jacobs!

[Peg Bostwick]

I hope you’ll register your ewes.  J   Takes time but it is so much easier to play with pedigrees of lambs that are for sale if I can follow the ewe lines.     Also, I like to register all of mine, and hate to lose the full pedigree if it is available…   Peg

She hasn't been registered yet. I haven't had the money or time to do so until recently. And have been wondering if I should even bother registering anyway (ewes that is).

She is out of Chicory Lane Houdini and Meridian Zena (two registered C flock animals). Sire of the lamb is a C flock animal as well (not that flock letter really matters - just luck of the draw).

I tried to bring up Meridian Sadie's pedigree on the JSBA pedigree search and found no matches. Is that her correct registered name?

We had an almost all black purebred Jacob lamb born last year, pictures on our Facebook page.

I occasionally get a single coated one though, but I've always kept track of who the father is and who got out with the wrong ram and when, if that was the case. THey would be a lot like the Shetland crosses, but some Shetlands are single coated - and some Jacobs have naturally shorter tails too, just to confuse things.

They come in a variety of colors and patterns including spotted and solid black. There are 4 horned Icelandics too, but not in North America.
