We loved participating in the 50th Annual Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival May 6-7, where Jacob Sheep were the featured breed this year! We are responsible for the Jacob Breed Display every year, and participate in the Parade of Breeds. Festival weekend is always an exhilarating time. We love reconnecting with long-time friends we see only on this weekend, and introducing new friends to all the experiences, sights, smells, tastes that are associated with the Festival -- not to mention traditions that have grown up over the 35+ years of our farm/family's participation! We appreciated all the assistance from friends who helped us lead-train our lambs ahead of the show, and will cherish the memories of those who visited, group dinners, and reliving the old stories year after year! See you next year!
