In 1997, we decided to raise Jacob sheep. I had never raised sheep before but had admired them at others farms and wanted to get a rare breed. We found Jacobs nearby and purchases a starter flock of 3 ewes lambs and a ram lamb from Deb Yeagle.
We made mistakes along the way, but Jacob sheep are very hardy, with their primitive characteristics and very strong mothering skills. I only had to assist with 2 births since I have had them and both were minor things. One was a leg back and one was a big two horned ram lamb who needed some help getting his horn buds out.
