They are lovely - you should be in the photos too to give a sense of scale  :)

I don't know much about Ouessants (other than that they are small..), but their fleeces look quite fine? Good for spinning?

And they do look like an "old" breed, in many ways quite similar to Shetlands! (are they short tailed?)

Good horns on that last tup  :) But yes, we need a sense of scale, they look like Shetlands but I know they're much smaller  :)

Well this is best I can do! This is Stafford who is a 3 year old mature Ouessant ram alongside 9 month old Shetland ram lamb. They are small but chunky and solid!
