Ouessant ewes don't have horns, and are not half as flighty as Borerays...!!!! They don't tend to jump either which is unusual for primitive type sheep. I find Ouessants really easy and mine are treated like sheep not pets.... :D

Would have helped if they had tied up the far end of the hurdles so they didn't just go straight through  ::) :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

lol am i the only one who saw these sheep and decided i would actually love to keep them? i think they are brilliant and would be great fun! perhaps i am being a bit naive though they did jump pretty high and not to mention the speed they ran, i think it is easy to see why there are only 300 left in the UK or something like that they are probably quite a handfull!  :D :D

It was good to watch them run and jump but would it be such fun trying to drench them or vaccinate or foot trim? Probably not!
