[Jacob-list] Black Jocobs?

[Carl Fosbrink]

Purebred Jacobs are not pure black, but crosses are. Jacobs must have no more than 85% black and must have a spotting pattern. In crosses look for wool forward of the horns and below the hocks. Crosses may also have blocky faces and heavy boned legs instead of the triangular heads and fine boned legs that purebred Jacobs are suppose to have.

I was at the Sussex County Farm & Horse Show yesterday, and in the petting zoo tent was two 4-horned solid black rams.  The sign in front of their pen said they were Jacobs.  I was not aware that they could be that color, and they were smaller than other Jacobs I've seen.  Can anyone here provide more information?  Thank you.


A bright future is based on a forgotten past. One can't go on well in life until you let go of past failures and heartaches.
