To the Balwen Society Official Website 

​

The Balwen Welsh Mountain Sheep originated from a small area of Wales, the Tywi Valley.

​

They are a small hardy breed that are easy to handle and their attractive markings often catch the eye of passers-by.

​

The Balwen is becoming popular among smallholders and farmers alike, mainly due to its attractive markings,  hardiness, ease of care, and excellent meat.

​

The ewes make excellent mothers, having very few lambing problems and plenty of milk to feed the lambs.

​

The Balwen continues to be on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust's watch list.
