A large Jacob Sheep ram with a white face, black markings around its eyes, and impressive, multi-curved horns looks directly forward from inside a pen. Its wool is a mix of white and dark tones. Other Jacob Sheep are partially visible around it. The scene is inside a barn with metal support beams and a corrugated roof, and sunlight streams in from above, causing some lens flare. The image is framed by dark bars in the foreground.
