Jacob Sheep, originally a parkland breed, have become widespread, being found in various regions across the British Isles and several countries worldwide. These sheep are known for their alert and attractive appearance, standing upright with a deep-bodied build.

Their distinctive fleece is white with well-defined black patches, particularly noticeable on the head and neck where black coloration dominates, often accompanied by a white blaze. Jacob sheep exhibit either two or four horns, present in both sexes.

Ewes of the Jacob breed are renowned for their hardiness and exceptional mothering abilities, producing ample milk and frequently giving birth to twins or triplets. The lambs produced by Jacob ewes are highly regarded for their tenderness and leanness, boasting an excellent flavor profile. This desirable meat quality, with a favorable meat-to-bone ratio, is sought after by butchers nationwide.

Furthermore, the fleece of Jacob Sheep holds significant appeal to spinners and weavers, making them valuable for their wool in addition to their meat-producing capabilities. Overall, Jacob Sheep are a versatile breed prized for their unique appearance, hardiness, and quality meat and wool production.
