If you are going to have just a few animals its even more interesting if you
choose an native/ rare breed and breed pure. That way you will find a great

to your own personal choice
We have Jacobs - Howard has Llanwenogs  [I think?]

Yes, I have Llanwenogs. They like hills, are *relatively* easy to lamb, and quickly become hand tame. If you like the sound of them please ask again when you are ready. However, you should look at all breeds to make sure the one you choose is right for you. I totally agree that a rare breed should be considered. On top of all the usual reasons, rare breeds tend to be kept by a lot of smallholders and you will find a lot of understanding help from within the breed society.
