Sheep are cute. And tiny sheep prancing around on a farm like the world is their oyster are total cuteness overload! Just take the adorable, happy prancing sheep in this video, for instance.

We don’t think that any of these magnificent little creatures, with their happy little hops and adorable little shaking tails, could possibly be any more joyous!

Whomever it was that said that the best way to fall asleep was by counting sheep had obviously never encountered the precious little prancing babies in this video.

If we were counting these little creatures at night, we wouldn’t sleep because we would be too busy going to cuteness heaven, LOL! Just look at these happy little prancers go!

In a truly just world, all animals would roam freely and happily just like this all the time. Of course, social media was totally head over heels for these precious little prancing darlings.

Instagram user jovita_min wanted to know how they could have some of these precious little babies for themselves when they commented, “What on earth do you call them, and do you ship internationally?”

While Instagram user schandrea_arck was so smitten with these adorable little sheep that they wrote, “This video really made my day today. Man, are these cute!”

And Instagram user art_by_the_dark_side asked the question that was on everyone’s mind when they wrote, “What kind of sheep are these? So tiny and cute!”

To which Instagram user herchers_ouessantschafe, who posted this adorable video, replied, “The race is called Ouessant. It originates from the dle d’Ouessant on the west coast of Breton.”

All About Ouessant Sheep

Ouessant Sheep come from the Ouessant Island in Brittany, which is located outside of Western Metropolitan France. They have the distinction of being the smallest naturally occurring breed of sheep in the world.

Currently, large populations of Ouessant sheep can be found in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Holland.
