  Awhile back there was a discussion on the list about
primative traits of Jacob sheep. The following traits
were listed: udder close to body, ease of lambing,
track narrowly, slender legs, presence or alertness,
deer shaped body, shedding of belly and sometimes neck
wool, standing on rear legs to browse, good mothers,
sloping croup, triangular shaped head. From the recent
discussion on the list it appears  we could add
jumping and pronking ability and down type fleece to
the list also.
