JACOB SHEEP: A HERITAGE BREED

Why Jacobs?

Jacob sheep are an incredible breed with an ancient history dating back nearly 3000 years, to Biblical times as the spotted sheep in Jacob's flock. They are an incredibly resilient, hardy breed, with mild demeanors, excellent mothering instincts, flavorful meat (without being "muttony") and gorgeous spotted fleeces. 





MEET OUR HERD

Our Current Herd Sire

The handsome and gentle Sweetgrass Celeron is our current herd sire. He has a stunning set of 4 horns, and manages his herd with with grace and ease. He is protective of our young lambs, and keeps his sometimes unruly adollescent ram lambs in check with the skill of both a good father and leader. 


OUR EWES


We currently have 4 registered ewes; Sweetgrass Izzy, Sweetgrass Hildy, Sweetgrass Winter, and Sweetgrass Scarlet. We have several ewes with registration paperwork underway, so that list should be growing soon!
