    One of the smallest sheep breeds and always grazing, or so it seems.

    Hiking

    The Ouessant sheep is named after the island of Ouessant off the coast of Brittany.

    Due to the harsh climate (few or no trees and therefore little shelter and lots of wind and rain) and the poor soils, the Ouessant sheep is one of the smallest sheep breeds (if not the smallest) in the world. The shoulder height is approximately 45 cm, rams weigh up to a maximum of 20 kg. The ewes usually only give birth to one young at a time. The rams have relatively large, twisted horns.
