The majestic Jacob Sheep is a special addition to flocks throughout North America. Unique, different, regal, useful, hardy – there are few breeds that excite the interest of others as does this breed. Jacobs offer character and interest to any farm.
The Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA) was formed in 1988 through the encouragement and guidance of the American Minor Breeds Conservancy (now The Livestock Conservancy). The purpose of JSBA is to provide a place for breeders of Jacob Sheep to register their animals, communicate with one another and to centralize the distribution of information. JSBA’s mission is to foster the conservation of Jacob sheep through education, advocacy, registration and research.
We hope you will join us in conserving this interesting and unique breed of sheep. It is not necessary to be a breeder to be a member of the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association. Membership in JSBA provides a quarterly newsletter, registration of sheep privileges, and a breeder listing.
Why Become a JSBA Member?
When an individual becomes a member of the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association, they are making a commitment to the stewardship of the Jacob breed and to joining a community of other breeders committed to the welfare of Jacob sheep into the future.
