This breed may be a Balwen Welsh Mountain sheep, as it fits the description. When the ewe caught sight of me, she hightailed it for cover, the lambs followed.

Ewe and Lambs 
The Balwen is bred for meat and that is the rule in this area, the lambs are sold.
The description is of a black color with a white blaze on the face, four white “socks” and white on the tail. This individual is missing a white tale, so might be a Shetland and even more so as the others of the herd are white (Shetlands are a variety of colors), Shetland is common and the other rare.
These are on the hillside of Slievenaglogh Townland, County Louth, Ireland.
This is the fourth of a series using the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM lens.
