Jacob Sheep at Monument Walk, Trentham Monkey Forest
Highlight • Trail
Jacob worked without wages for his father-in-law Laban, for fourteen years for the love of his life Rachel.
His father-in-law was an untrustworthy man who repeatedly cheated Jacob.
Jacob continued to work for Laban after his marriage to Rachel and suggested that he be given all the speckled and spotted sheep that may be born as his wages. Laban agreed as he thought that the chances of such offspring would be low.
However, God blessed Jacob with many such sheep being born.
Hence the name Jacob sheep 😊
They can live all year round on whatever vegetation they can pull, even being capable of rooting through a foot of snow to find food.
They seem to prefer grazing rough moor grass, birch scrub, bracken and balsam instead of lush grass, so Monument Walk is the perfect home for them!
