We maintain a small flock of very spoiled Jacob sheep at Walkabout Farm. Jacobs are unique in many ways. Everyone is accustomed to seeing a woolly white sheep, but people do double takes when they drive by our farm and see the black and white spotted sheep. Both rams and ewes have horns and not just two horns--some even have FOUR horns! The rare Jacob sheep is an ancient breed, deriving its name from the story of Jacob in the Bible. Jacob worked for his uncle, Laban, who paid him for tending his flocks by giving Jacob all the spotted sheep. By using only spotted rams for breeding, Jacob cleverly managed to produce more spotted sheep and build his wealth. The Jacob sheep is an ideal sheep for the hobby farmer for many reasons. They are a small to medium size and easily handled. They are exceptionally hardy, excellent mothers, efficient foragers and grazers, and are full of personality. The muliti-colored fleeces are wonderful for handspinning and other crafts. If you are interested in learning more about Jacob sheep, check out the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association. |
