Jacob sheep & lamb, Rudchester
Jacob sheep & lamb, Rudchester
There are two colours which make up a Jacob fleece: dark brown and white. The ratio of the two colours varies vastly between sheep and fleeces can range from almost all brown to all white with only small patches of brown. The classic Jacob face is often referred to as 'badger-faced', consisting of black cheeks and muzzle with a white blaze running down the front of the face. The lambs are usually black and white piebald, a reflection of underlying darkly pigmented patches on their skin.
