To move sheep into CA we had a health certificate, scrapie ear tags and a 
negative bangs (brucellosis).  If you are moving them back and forth between 
grazings, under the same ownership, if I remember correctly, you are exempt. 
We just had proof of ownership and an exemption form when we moved them from 
my dad's place in Nevada down to our place in Sonoma County.

As to Crescent City, move a scrunch east, or into the hills right outside 
Crescent City and you'll have plenty of heat for olives!  There are 
micro-climates east of Crescent City that are very similar to Sonoma County 
and olives do quite well there!
