Jacobs Lambs For Sale
We are proud of our 2023 Jacob lambs! We are also pleased with this year’s more normal 1:1 sex ratio, compared with a too-often ratio heavily skewed to ram lambs; we have available a good selection of both ewe lambs and ram lambs. All dams and sires in our flock are registered with the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA). Most lambs will be sold with their applications for JSBA registration.

We used four rams as sires of this year’s lambs, which provides good opportunities to assemble starter flocks of several ewe lambs and an unrelated ram lamb. Sires of this year’s lambs are from our breeding: Hillside Eddie (JSBA registration number: E055-22), Hillside Cahill (E054-22), Hillside Eugene (B058-22), and Hillside Juan (G011-22).

Photos of ewe lambs are posted on the top half of the page; ram lamb photos are located at the bottom of the page. The legend under each photo includes dam and sire. Information on each parent may be found by using the pedigree search on the JSBA website (JSBA.org). The legend may also describe the lamb as “lilac,” a genetic recessive that expresses as brown (or gray) and white, instead of the dominant black and white. Fiber artists sometimes appreciate the added color options provided by a lilac fleece.

A few words are in order on purchase of ram lambs. Ram lambs, especially their horns and especially four-horned ram lambs, can change as they grow during their first few months of age. Ram lambs may not be JSBA-registered until they are at least 6 months old, and it can be difficult to select a ram lamb at a young age and know for certain that he will pass inspection for registration a few months later. The issue is less a concern if the ram will not be registered. For most ram lambs we are able to allow selection from current photos but to hold the ram lamb for pick-up later this summer, when status of the ram lamb’s horns can be more accurately judged.

We have raised Jacob sheep for more than 30 years and will be glad to use our experience to advise and guide selection of lambs for purchase. Anyone with questions or expressions of interest may contact us via e-mail (gbanderson@ucdavis.edu) or by phone or text (616/514-9343).
