With small hooves and lighter mass, Ouessant don't poach the ground - less mess, less damage, less soil compaction. They're also easy to handle, lift and move. And super-cute!
Happy outdoors, they demand little in the way of shelter or feed. Primitive immunity includes disease resistance, a key driver for saving ancient breeds.
Adding heart and soul to any landscape, they graze and nap and stretch unlike any lawnmower. Gazing at sheep has to be great for mindfulness!
With high wool weight per head, fine wool and beautiful palettes, Ouessant fibre is highly desirable for hand spinners, and wool enthusiasts.
Rare, unusual, and unique - by helping this breed, we preserve vital primitive sheep genetics, maybe for another millennium.
