The Shofar Sheep

The spotted sheep breed was created in England in the 17th Century (pic). They are called Jacob's breed because they are like those described in the Bible (Jacob was an expert in animal husbandry.and no one succeeded yet to repeat his results). Each animal may have up to six horns, each one of them can be used to manufacture the horn blown during the Jewish New Year and the Day of Atonement. A shofar with good sound sells for several thousands dollars.
