Meet Betelgeuse...my father's Jacob ram. He and his family help provide us with wonderful colored and white wool. The Jacob sheep is an ancient breed and gets its name from the story in the Bible about Jacob and his father-in-law, Laban. Check out the book of Genesis. You will notice that Betelgeuse has four horns...that's right, four. Jacob's are one of the breeds which are polycerate, meany "many horned".
