The Story of Jacob

The Story of Jacob

Chapter One 

The enigmatic Jacob has remained aloof from the evolutionary links and changes that have affected other primitive breeds and has kept itself as a pure direct link with the ancient world, unchanged since its creation, some would say since The Creation. As with the world’s other domestic sheep, it’s most likely birthplace is the Levant, where a piebald sheep existed more than 3000 years ago, known as Jacob’s sheep and whose origin is explained in the Book of Genesis (30:31-43)
