BFL-X triplet lambs

These crossbred lambs are 75% BFL. Can you tell from the ears? They weighed a total of 28 pounds at birth 6 weeks ago and now they weigh 100 pounds.

Another cute face and big ears.

Nubian goats.

If I’m focusing on ears I can’t leave out these two.

Meridian Jacobs

At Meridian Jacobs farm we raise Jacob sheep and sell locally grown wool fiber, yarn, and handwoven goods. We teach fiber classes and sell Ashford, Clemes & Clemes, and Schacht spinning and weaving equipment. We encourage farm visits with field trips and our unique Farm Club.
