Jacob Sheep
Jacob Sheep is a heritage breed, meaning it’s considered to be unchanged and unimproved in the centuries they’ve been around. While it is considered to be a good meat breed, they grace our green pastures so we can collect their wool. Jacob wool is lighter and less greasy, and easier to work with.

We do have one Dorper ewe in our herd. She was rescued as a bottle baby lamb by a friend of the farm, and we happily took her on. By the time she was old enough to go without the bottle, we loved her too much to give her up.

Note:
We keep all females born on the ranch. Females sired by our current ram will remain separated after weaning, along with other ewes we don’t want bred. They’ll rejoin the herd when we change out rams - which we do every couple of years. This avoids inbreeding and diversifies our herd.
We started with just 3 sheep in 2018, and we continue to grow each passing year.
Peggy had ram twins on March 5th.
Andie & Ollie, both 4-horned rams, were sold at Auction.
Bella had a female on March 11th. Linda will be staying with the herd!
Lamby had twins on March 14th. Sol (male) is sold. Selene (female) is staying with the herd!
Maggie had twins on April 7th, Monique (female) will be staying with the herd. Gene (male) is sold.
Eliza had a female on April 9th. Louise is very special - Eliza was one of my first sheep, and after this year’s breeding season she’ll be retiring, so this is her last baby. I’m so glad she’s female so we can keep her!
Ashley had Jolene & Bob on April 10th. Bob will be ready to go June 9th. Jolene was rejected, so she’s been a bottle baby! She’s staying with the herd.
Mary-Kate and Snowball both had babies on April 20th! Mary-Kate gave us Tina and Snowball gave us Calvin. Calvin will be ready on June 9th.
