Jacobs For Sale
We are excited to post photos of our 2018 Jacob lambs! After breeding Jacobs for more than 25 years, we are pleased with the consistency evident in this year’s lamb crop. These lambs are not only “pretty to look at;” they also show desirable fleeces that have been an important part of our breeding program.

We used five rams as sires for our 2018 lambs, including three two-horned rams. Fanciers of two-horned Jacobs will find an excellent selection of beautiful two-horned lambs, both ewes and rams. For preferences that lean toward four-horned Jacobs, we also offer a good selection.

Flock sires for our 2018 lambs include Hillside Tornado (registration number: E046-16), Hillside Cooper (registration number: E045-16), Unzicker Montague (registration number: C110-16), Hillside Wizard (registration number: D134-17), and Hillside Winston (registration number: F033-17). This assortment of flock sires allows us to assemble starter flocks of ewe lambs and an unrelated ram lamb.

A note about selection of breeding stock as young lambs: Because Jacob rams can change in appearance as they develop, they may not be submitted for registration until 6 months of age. Selection of a ram lamb at an early age carries some risk that, when the ram reaches 6 months of age, he might not be appropriate for registration (usually due to horn growth and development). The risk is less for two-horned than four-horned ram lambs and considerably less for ewes than rams (because of the stringency of criteria applied at inspection for registration to rams compared with that for ewes). An option is for ram buyers to select their lamb, which we will hold until the lamb approaches 4 to 6 months of age. This option might work well for lamb buyers who travel a long distance to pick up their Jacobs.

Our entire flock, all rams and all ewes, is registered through the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA). Complete applications for registration will be provided for any lamb for which the new owner wishes to register.

These photos were taken when the lambs were approximately 2 months old. Lambs will be weaned at 3 months of age, at which time each will be carefully examined for fleece and horn development to ensure only high-quality lambs are sold as breeding stock. We expect lambs to be available for pick-up in early July and thereafter.

Please contact us (gbanderson@ucdavis.edu) if you have questions about or wish to select a particular lamb. We always welcome visitors!
