I think most of the painted desert/spotted hair sheep have had Jacob (or Navajo Churro) bred in to get the crazy horns. People pay big money to go on "canned" hunts and shoot the rams with the biggest horns so people added whatever breeds they could to get better horns so they could charge more money. I'm sure your lambs are going to be delicious whatever they are and from what I've seen of your ram from your thread he sure is handsome!

I just got a new job at a dairy farm 5 miles away, and the farm's neighbor is you guess it- Hillside Jacobs. I can see the sheep in the pasture while I am working. I have not visit the farm and the owners yet, but been on their website. If I ever get sheep someday, it will be Jacob or Icelandics. I plan to visit the farm soon, hopefully. :)

Nice ram btw! :thumbsup

What a bunch of good looking rams! Not that I want to criticize anyone's animals but these make it easy to see what good breeding can do. And I love Alister's face, can he come live with me? :D
