The purpose of this packet is to help acquaint judges with the unique characteristics of the Jacob breed, and with the fitting and showing preferences of the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA). This document includes: x An overall proposed scorecard, immediately following this introduction; x An overview of the Jacob breed; x The Association’s recommendations regarding fitting and showing; x A discussion of breed characteristics; x The JSBA Breed Standard (Appendix A); x A Glossary of Terms (Appendix B); while most of these terms will be familiar to judges, a few are somewhat specific to this breed; and, x Information on card grading (Appendix C). A Short History of Jacob Sheep Jacobs are a British long-tailed, polycerate breed dating back three to four hundred years. They are known as "Park" sheep because the earliest recorded flocks were kept on large country estates to enhance the beauty of the landscape. Until the 20th century these sheep had little in the way of selective breeding for traits such as meat and wool quality. Although importations to the United States and Canada prior to the 1960’s and 70’s are not well-documented, it is possible that Jacob sheep were brought into the to North America at an earlier date, particularly for purposes of display in zoological exhibits – possibly as early as the turn of the 20th century. In Britain, Jacobs have been crossed to Dorsets in the South and Cheviots in the North and can now compete with the larger, selectively bred meat breeds. In North America, they have remained more primitive. The earliest ones were snapped up by hunters, private zoos and game farms for their "trophy" heads. The American Jacob is today closer to the earliest recorded flocks than those found in Britain. By retaining its small size, its large horns and its distinctly colored markings we should be able and proud to pass on to future generations this exceptionally unique breed.

Jacob Sheep in the Show Ring Jacob Sheep Breeders Association Page 2 This group of two-horned and four-horned Jacob ewes show the color patterns and other characteristics that are typical of the breed. About the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association The Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA) was formed in 1988 to provide a registry for purebred American Jacob sheep, and now represents more than 200 breeders from the United States and Canada. According to statistics provided by the America Livestock Breeds Conservancy, JSBA registrations account for about 80 to 90 percent of the American Jacobs registered annually. From the inception of the registry in 1988 through 2004, JSBA registered more than 8,700 Jacobs. All sheep registered by JSBA must pass an inspection, and must be shown to meet the breed standard. However, given the limited genetic pool available, and the Association’s goal of maintaining as much genetic diversity as possible, the standard is intentionally written to be inclusive of a fairly broad range of animals. Thus, some diversity in the show ring, including two- and four-horned animals of various sizes and marking patterns, is not only acceptable but to be encouraged. It is not our goal to produce large, uniform, “commercial” animals. All animals that place at the top of their classes should, however, exhibit typical breed characteristics, and should be sound, hardy animals – as is also characteristic of the Jacob breed. Jacob Sheep in the Show Ring Jacob Sheep Breeders Association Page 3 Card Grading In some (but not all) shows, a “card grading” system may be used as an alternate means of evaluating breeding stock. Under this system, all animals are graded as excellent, good, acceptable, and unacceptable while still penned. All sheep rated “excellent” are then shown against one another in the ring. This system helps to avoid a situation where a judge who is unfamiliar with the breed could place a sub-standard animal over one that the association considers to be ideal. Breeders are then able to select quality animals based on the judge’s evaluation, without the inference that one “type” of Jacob is inherently superior to another type. Additional information on card grading is included in Appendix C of this packet. UUUU U The purpose of this guidance is to advise those judging Jacobs of the characteristics that the Association and its members consider more and less desirable. It is our hope that showing Jacobs will help to introduce this less-common breed to the public in a positive manner, and that such competitions will be a positive experience both for members and those who judge our sheep.

They have a more primitive body shape, are relatively slender-boned, and provide a flavorful, lean carcass with little external fat. The fleece is soft, open and light in grease, making it highly sought after by handspinners. Jacob sheep are also attractive to owners of small flocks because they are hardy, resistant to parasites and foot problems, lamb easily, and have strong mothering instincts, thus demanding a minimal amount of attention. Most serious Jacob breeders are concerned with conservation breeding -- that is, with maintaining genetic diversity within a breed having a relatively small number of individuals. Jacob sheep are currently listed as a “Rare1” breed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross. Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors –John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both.

Tins aneienb ornamental breed has been variously described as Spanish, Syrian, Portuguese, African, Z!flu , Persian, Egyptian, Barbary, and.also as "Jacob's Sheep." Owing to the uncertainty regarding the origin, of the breed, it is perhaps best to follow Elwes (1913) in using the non- committal name "Piebald;" These sheep possess many excellent economic qualities and it is doubtless due to this fact as well as to their picturesque appearance that so many flocks are in existence in this country, Wallace (1925) putting the number of flocks as high as one hundred and fifty. Piebald sheep have been in existence in England for a considerable period, and pictures at Tabley House and at Wentworth painted about 1760 show that there has been little change in appearance since that time. Painstaking efforts to trace the breed in other countries have fated, and their country of origin must remain a matter of considerable doubt.
