Bootsie at 3 weeks old!

 

One of "the girls"!

Jacob Sheep have graced the large estates and country homes of England for many centuries. Their impressive horns, black and white faces and spotted bodies have no doubt contributed to their popularity and survival. They can be traced back to Biblical times, mentioned by Jacob in Genesis in the Old Testament. They have not been improved and bred to change the old standard and for that reason and others, we are happy to have them here on our farm!

We maintain a small flock and hopefully, will eventually learn to shear them ourselves and spin the wool!

Bootsie - our prize ram - RIP
