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.
