About Us -
Shadow Mountain is located in scenic Western Washington in the shadows of the beautiful and majestic Mt. Rainier. Here at Shadow Mountain we are truly dedicated to the preservation of this lovely breed and enjoy their exotic look and individual personalities. Our starter flock has been assembled from around the country and we strive for a diverse flock both genetically and visually while staying within the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (J.S.B.A.) standards. We give our ewes a lot of individual attention and they are treated more like pets than livestock. We only keep breeding stock sheep that are healthy and hardy and ewes that lamb easily and are fantastic mothers. We invite you to contact us with any questions regarding our sheep. Thank you for considering sheep from Shadow Mountain Jacobs.
About Jacob Sheep -
Jacob sheep are an old world sheep breed believed to have originated in what is now Syria some three thousand years ago. Pictorial evidence also traces movement of these sheep through North Africa, Sicily, Spain, and then to England. American Jacobs have been kept primitive and natural keeping their original overall look. Smaller bodied and slender boned Jacob Sheep easily lamb, are great mothers and easy keepers showing some resistance to internal parasites and foot problems as well as fewer health problems in general. We find these multi-horned, spotted-fleeced beauties a pleasure to keep and encourage you to learn more about them on the J.S.B.A. website.
Thank you for visiting!
