I got my Jacobs!!!! I got a really sweet(for a ram)2 year old ram named Jacob a nice looking 2 year old ewe we named Dakota and her newborn baby boy that we are tentively calling Little Dodge. I really wanted a girl lamb, but they only had 2 single births and both had ram lambs and the other ewe was coming on 6 years old. I could have gotton a young ewe with twins, but unfortunately it would have gone over my budget. I only brought enough money for 3 since I know how I am about going over what I set as my limit. Anyway dh said that if they still have any left in two weeks I can get another ewe with twins. The baby was born just a couple of hours before I got there. He was bouncing across the pen this morning. They had sold all their goats the day before. I fell in love with their dogs one of them was blue/silver like a weimeraner and HUGE. Looked kinda like a blue lab. She said it was a weimeraner/great pyrenees cross.

This is the ram Jacob.

This is is Little Dodge.

This is Dakota.

The pictures are kinda sorry. It was trying to rain and they wanted NOTHING to do with me even with feed so I had to zoom in and chase them in circles to get a picture! Anyway, I am also finally getting around to canning the potatoes. They are the first low-acid foods I have ever canned, but I followed the instructions and am waiting on the canner to start venting before I add the weights and start my timing. i didn't think I was EVER going to finish peeling the stinkin' things!
