It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Jacob Sheep Society. The Jacob Sheep is an ancient breed of horned sheep. It is a dual purpose sheep, providing tasty sweet meat and high quality wool. These unusual black and white sheep are also popular for their unique appearance.
Over the past 40 years the Jacob Sheep has progressed from being a decorative park sheep to become a mainstream British breed; able to compete with the best of British livestock. It is thanks to the Jacob Sheep Society that this is so and if you would like to be part of this organisation do please contact us and we will be pleased to send you details of membership.
On this site you will find details of the Jacob Sheep Society, its history and the benefits of being a member; information about shows and sales; details of the regional structure and events in your region, and links to sites advertising sheep for sale and other merchandise. Members of the Society can also use the site to access the society’s on-line flock book.
