Hello
First thanks a lot for all of you which helped me in this wonderful breed. I
now have all my
lambs of the ewes which I imported in December from the north of Germany.
Unfortunately one
lamb died during or after birth. I did not see it. But the other 5 are doing
well and you can see
them on
http://www.wildwillow.ch/l%E4mmer_2008.htm
If you klick on the small picture on the right side you can see the fleece
of each lamb. They
are very different and I am wondering if you see which can be best.
Jano ist a 4 Horn ram the others I am not sure. I would say that Siwa could
be a 4 Horn ewe and
the rest two horns. I will wait to see more. Oreon has like his mother a
right blue eye.
On the same page (far down) I put a picture of a hen in. This is nearly a
must for Jacobbreeder...hihihi! It is
a very old swiss breed called Appenzeller Spitzhaube. They exist in two oder
colors. But this
is the one which fits best to Jacobs, isn't it?
Monika
