Jacob Top: UK

You know Jacobs as the stunning sheep with multiple horns and black and white spots, but did you know that the English kept them in parks just for looks? We see this today with peacocks but how would it be to go around a corner and come face to face with a four horned beauty! Spinner’s delight!

The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists the Jacob sheep as “threatened.”

Available in black and grey.
