Ancon

Sheep

Ancon sheep are a grouping of sheep with long bodies and very short legs, with the fore-legs being crooked. The term is generally applied to a line of sheep bred from a single affected Massachusetts lamb born in 1791. The breed was artificially selected and maintained for its desirable inability to jump over fences.
