Here is the note from my friend in Israel... >I don't know a lot about current sheep breeds but I've heard that most of the sheep are Corriedale. (Their fleece is not very good -- too sunburnt and full of VM, also very short staple because shorn several times a year). The Jacobs sheep I've seen only in zoos. The sheep here tend to be on the small side. It's much too hot for breeds like Merino. Hope this helps!<
