You don’t need to live on a mountain to enjoy keeping these sheep!
They will be fine on lowland pasture, but take care that they don’t get fat on lush grass.
Balwen Welsh Mountain sheep, as a breed, are considered “At Risk” by the RBST.
The name Balwen in welsh means “white blaze” ~ see photos of my flock below!
They have four white socks, black noses, and a partially white tail.
These are tough mountain sheep.
They lamb easily and are good mothers. They can become very tame, are long lived. They have a “joy of living” and will jump for joy and play even in old age.
Their tail is left long and is not docked.
