Meet Jolene (below), a Barbados Blackbelly ewe. This breed of sheep, from Barbados in the West Indies, originates from the sheep brought to the islands by African slave traders in the 1600s. They are hair sheep, which means they shed their coats and do not have to be sheared like "wool" sheep. They are naturally hornless, don't mind the southern heat, and are very parasite resistant. They are a bit more nervous than our other sheep breed.
Jenna, a Katahdin ewe, was born in 2009, along with a twin brother. This breed was developed in the USA (Maine) from West African hair sheep from the late 1950's to early 1970. They are excellent meat producers, very docile and easy to care for.
Jazzabelle and her ram lamb Max... these are also Katahdin, but as you can see, Jazz is an exotic one!
Jemima , affectionately known as "40," is Jenna's mom, and usually has twins or triplets. She is a lead sheep and is very curious and good-natured.
