Following the third year, another 3 years of the sheep breeding according to the Lovon-Ya'aqeiv's agreement, would have reduced the mixed flock to approximately 2% of the total.

From the chart above, it appears that in the long term, Ya'aqeiv would have received more sheep than Lovon. Though the sheep would not be white, if the esoteric goal then was for Lovon (white) to receive literally white gifts and payments. Similarly, according to any esoteric hidden meanings of the striped sticks, it stands to reason that Ya'aqeiv had to have the brown sheep.
