Going through export hoops for a couple of ewes would be fairly expensive and time-consuming, both for you and the seller. You should be able to get something local, or maybe put some goats on it...

I'd talk locally and see what 'primitive' or 'hill' sheep are available - both would manage scrubby grazing (you should see ours  ::))

The Ouessant sheep is the native breed of the region coming from the island of Ouessant just off the coast of finistere  so they would be relatively cheap and easy to come by from a grazing point of view they would be perfect from a meat point of view they are not a commercial production animal so it depends what your purpose is. you could look for lande des bretagne sheep whilst harder to come by they are larger provide good meat and there sis a co operative for their wool  . it all depends on what you are looking for but I wouldn't be importing
