We have raised Jacob sheep since 2001 in southern Wisconsin's beautiful Driftless region. Jacobs are a hardy, efficient, moderate-size primitive breed well suited for small farm direct marketing.
Our sheep are selected and managed for easy lambing, good mothering, parasite resistance and ability to thrive on pasture and hay. The flock grazes from April through November or December and is fed in our 1907 barn during winter.
Many of our fleeces are desirable for handspinning and have low VM due to careful hay feeding and pasture management. Breeding stock is always for sale and we direct-market meat in the Madison area and often have yearlings (hoggett) available which have excellent flavor.
