Hi and a belated welcome from Staffordshire...Portland are a lovely breed, I have Balwens, Shropshire and Southdown...consider what you want from your animals before you decide on what to buy...some are better for producing meat/wool than others and some breeds are smaller/larger and hardier...if your new to sheep I would suggest you seek advice before spending your money.

Best of luck with your project...

Farmer,
