My Wages Farm is a small homestead founded in December 2010. Our first Jacob sheep 'Angie' was bought in February of 2011 and lambed 'Ivy' April 25 doubling our flock size. In October 2011 rams, 'Lightning Bolt' and 'Thunder', and ewe 'Vanessa' joined the flock. So begins our adventures in caring for a heritage sheep breed. The farm has other animals and birds that are under our care but the sheep will hopefully be a source of income...My Wages.

Why 'My Wages' for the farm name?

I think I read Genesis 29-31 about ten times hoping to find something that would make a good name for a farm with a herd of Jacob sheep.  What I found was wages and my wages is what jumped out at me, nine times as a matter of fact.

Gen_29:15  Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"
Gen_30:18  Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my servant to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.
Gen_30:28  Name your wages, and I will give it."
Gen_30:32  let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
Gen_30:33  So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen."
Gen_31:7  yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me.
Gen_31:8  If he said, 'The spotted shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, 'The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore striped.
Gen_31:41  These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

Since my Jacob sheep are what I hope to earn  money from, that income if any will be my wages.
