[Jacob-list] Black Jocobs?

[latwell1 at cox.net]

I have a Jacob x Dorper cross ewe and she has given me 2 solid black rams except for a spot of white on the top of their heads. She is mostly white and only the fact that she has no horns gives away the she's crossed.. Her ewe lambs have always looked Jacob.

I was not aware that they could be that color, and they were smaller than other Jacobs I've seen.  Can anyone here provide more information?  Thank you.
