[Jacob-list] Looking for sheep in British Columbia

[Meg Steensland]

Livestock over the border - they are shipping llamas and alpacas over the border!  I got two Ontario Canada llamas in June 2006 - had delivered by a Canadian transporter - cost about as much as the stock itself; but maybe find out what requirements and make a 'run' yoursellf to WA or OR.  Without looking up names at www.jsba.org I think Karen Lobb lives out that way and is a reliable, active member of this list.  Yes, I know distances out 'west' are really different than those of us in the 'east' experience.

  quoted message follows:


  My husband and I are  restoring an old farm with an Orchard.  I have been
  researching different sheep breeds and  am planning to have 3-4 Jacobs
  on 6 acres (3 orchard 3 pasture.).  I selected them because of their
  size (small),  unique wool (which seems to be appealing to spinners and
  weavers, (is this true?) and hardiness and rarity.  We want to help
  support cultivation of heritage breeds.  I have determined a rare
  chicken to raise.  as well.


  Your help in locating a breeder in BC would be greatly appreciated.  
  There are breeders in the US but my understanding is that they cannot
  ship livestock over the border.
