So long, Port-a-potty!

We have a functioning indoor toilet now. No interior walls, no wash basin, no bathroom door, but a nice beige toilet that flushes. Something to celebrate!

Updated: Jacob Sheep for sale - four horned ewes

We are selling many of our Jacob sheep. I've roughly aged them in categories: oldest, older, middle, younger, 2006, and 2007 lambs. Three of our four starting Jacobs were from the Lasseau flock, and it is likely that our "oldest" ewes are daughters of the original ewes. In 2006, every ewe lambed with singles, twins, or triplets.

Here are our four horned Jacob sheep that are for sale, listed from older to younger:


Twisty Left/"Gilda" - Middle - Possibly daughter of Spot Face based on how they hang out in family groups. She surprised us with a ewe lamb early Sept 2007 (picture below).





"Sueprize", September 2007 4 horned ewe lamb of Gilda:




Bent Right/"Marilyn" - Middle

Updated: Jacob Sheep NOT FOR SALE

We are selling most of our Jacob Sheep, not because we do not love having them, but because we are moving and it will be a year or two or three before we have decent pasture there. We will keep a small flock and build from there, maybe buying some ewes in a couple of years to augment what we have.

These are the Jacob Sheep we are keeping, and why...


Gimpy Granny/"Granny Z" -- Two horned Oldest. Formally known as Granny but she was injured last winter and is now Gimpy. Vet said this will heal 100% but she still limps at times and heck, I got attached to her while we had her semi-confined. One of the 2006 ewes for sale is from her or Spot Face, another Oldest.




Small2GoodUp/"Bettina" - Younger, 2005 or earlier. She is Robert's choice of who to keep.







SNDau/"Mandy" - 2006 two horned, daughter of my favorite ewe, Spot Nose, an Oldest, who died last winter.





LongLeftUp/"Sasha" - 2006 - daughter of either GimpyGranny or Spot Face, both Oldest two horn ewes. Her sweet personality has grown on me during these past few months since we started advertising our sheep for sale.







We will keep four of the six 2007 lambs for meat. We think someone will want SNDau's 2 horned ewe lamb and the 4 horned Dot Nose ewe lamb, in which case we'll keep the three ram lambs and the injured ewe lamb. But we're not attached to which four lambs we keep so take your pick!
