When we wear farmers' boots

It's been a week now that we've started with a new quest. And this quest has a name (yus yus): the sheep from Ouessant!

This sheep...is said to be the smallest sheep in the world (50cm maximum)... And should be soon part of Candy's family!
No not in our Parisian flat, but to join Julia, our family sheep.

We were first looking for dwarf goats, which are said to be really fun and behaving almost like dogs with human beings. But they jump way to high for our installation in Bretagne and we don't want any electric fence.

So as we were looking for other kind of company for Julia, we really fell for the Ouessant sheep!

A week later, we know about everything about sheep. We can almost smell them from our (not so) posh lil flat here!

We hope to find a couple of Ouessant lambs by the end of July. A male and a female. We found a lil female born in Spring. And somewhere else a lil male, born in Spring too.
Not so much expensive, 60 euros for the 2 of them. I hope it will work.
Gawd, that is a new adventure! Just thinking of carrying them back to the family house in Bretagne IS something! lol

You should see them, they're so cute! And they are pretty autononous, they don't need more than what a traditionnal sheep needs (=space, company, food for winter and water, and a lil shelter against the rain and cold) + LOTS OF LOVE!

Here's the pic of a male, females do not have horns but are as cute!


The photo comes from here, great site!

PS: If you know anyone who get these sheep, please contact me!

edit: we will welcome on the first week of August 2 lil Ouessant lambs! A male and a female! We're so happy! Now we have to build a bigger shelter for Julia and them... we're drawing plans, etc! Watta work! But great one, I tell you!
