Hello, does anyone know where or how to get small hardy mountainy organic sheep and ram that do not need to be sheared in France?  Thanks.

France is quite big - what part are you in?

Plenty of different types of hair sheep , take your pick!
There are breeders throughout France/Germany/Netherlands

I have seen quite a few and would advise you take your time to find a cross bred /composite type that has improved the commercial traits of the Cameroon & Barbados (I've had these and they could do with a bit of growth/carcase improvement)

Look at the date of first post!

I presume Couann is just saying thanks for the advice.

Good to get some feedback when something works.
