Fellow Shepherds:

Please allow me to introduce Ashley Shay (ashley at bethavi.org<mailto:ashley at bethavi.org>) .  Ashley is new to raising Jacob's and just purchased one of our 2013 rams.  I mentioned to Ashley the huge repository of practical knowledge found in this group and she has expressed an interest in joining our on-line community.

Nick,

Thanks so much for helping us collect Nephtali yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that he and we arrived home safely. Nephtali is already cuddled up with one of my favorite ewes, so I think he's happy! So far, I've seen no issues with the wethers or the puppy, so hopefully that continues peaceably. :)

Did you have a link for the chat room you mentioned?

Ashley

Ashley that sounds good.

My address is 14781 Berlin Turnpike, Purcellville, Va 20132.

If you are coming in on Rt 70 exit at Frederick, MD, take Rt 340 West to the Brunswick, MD exit. Make a left at exit and take into the town of Brunswick. Make a right to old part of town, cross Potomac river. You are now on Berlin tnpk. We are about 7 miles on Right (Driveway sign says "Shiloh". You'll see big red barn and my ewes on right side of drive.

If coming in on rt 81, exit at Rt 7 E at winchester. Go east on Rt 7 about 35 miles until you see purcellville/Rt 287. Go north (right) on exit about 6 miles and through. You'll pass Rt 9. We are on left side about 1.5 mile north of Rt 9.

Drive safe and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

We plan to leave at 9.. so I'm thinking that puts our ETA somewhere between 12:30 and 1 if it takes us 3.5 hours from Crawley.

Can I have your exact address and any directions you think would be helpful?

He hasn't been around wethers but I think he would probably be fine with them. It takes 2 to tango so if he is not challenged he will be fine. And if challenged if the opponent backs down so will he; he is not agressive by nature (I've had a few of those!). He will probably be ok with dog too but just be careful.

Thanks for the insight! What about wethers? Will rams challenge them like they will other intact males?

Hi Ashley,

I have 2 dogs, a blue tick coonhound and collie mix; both around 90#.  Nephtali has been on other side of fence from dogs; he was interested,  sniffed them, but never been in with dogs. I will say that he has developed an impressive set of horns and last week he and his father got into an argument that turned bloody for dad. So I would be cautious about introducing him to dog.  He is docile, but a ram is still a ram and his horns can really do a lot of damage.

We're excited to meet him! Especially the ladies, I'm sure. :)

I did have a question. Do you have any dogs with your Jacobs now? We have a Great Pyr in with our flock now who is still just a puppy (four months), but I wondered if we should take steps to separate her and the ram, at least initially, if Nephtali isn't used to dogs?

The puppy has made close friends with one of our ewes (they sleep next to each other), but two of the others will chase her away if they feel nervous. The rest of the Jacobs don't really seem bothered by or interested in her either way, so I guess some of it is personality.

Thanks for the insight!

I'm traveling with my dad and a friend, so I will check with them and try to get back to you shortly with a more specific time. :)

>>> Subject: Re: Your inquiry about Jacob sheep   Nick,   Do you know anything about the Tay-Sachs gene? The breeder I'm getting my ewes from said it would be a good idea to ask if Nephtali had been tested for it to ensure the new flock stays clear of Tay-Sachs.   Also, could you send me another photo of Nephtali that shows his full body? I'm only just realizing I've only seen his head and shoulders. Pictures of his sire and dam would be great, too!    Sorry to be so needy. :)    Ashley   On Aug 15, 2014, at 7:25 PM, Donnangelo, Nick <ncd at mitre.org<mailto:ncd at mitre.org>> wrote:
