Which sheep breed is famous for often having four horns?

Jacob sheep are famous for often having four horns.

The breed is a small, piebald sheep with irregular black-and-white markings. Both rams and ewes may carry horns, and the breed’s defining multi-horned trait can produce two, four, or occasionally more horn points. Four horns are common enough to make Jacob sheep immediately distinctive.

Jacob sheep are associated with Britain, where they were developed as a recognized breed from spotted, multi-horned sheep. Their exact earlier history is debated, and attractive stories linking them to specific ancient populations are not firmly established by evidence.

The breed is kept for conservation, exhibition, fleece, meat, and its unusual appearance. Its horns should not be confused with antlers: horns are permanent structures made of a bony core and keratin covering. The name Jacob sheep also distinguishes the breed from generic spotted sheep that may look similar.
