Qualities
The advantages and qualities of the Welsh Mountain Sheep remain as
relevant and as important to agriculture in the twenty-first century as it had
been for generations.
The breed is unrivalled in its native environment, its exceptional hardness
and ability to survive in difficult circumstances means that it can thrive
where other breeds would perish.
Welsh Mountain Sheep are excellent browsers, economical to purchase and
to maintain, they make outstanding mothers, are protective of their young
and have easy lambing whether inside or outside. The lambs are born with a
good covering of wool to enable them to survive. They are active from the
start without the need for a lot of extra feeding, thriving best on mother’s
milk and the natural pasture uplands of Wales.
