- Jacob (sheep)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jacob sheep is a breed of primitive multihorned sheep, patterned with black and white spots. Jacobs are grown for their wool, their meat, and their hides, but they make good pets as well. Currently Jacobs are listed as threatened by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, which means the breed has "fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the U.S. and estimated fewer than 5,000 global population." However, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust in the United Kingdom do not view it as being at risk as there are in excess of 3000 registered breeding females.
