Black Welsh Mountain

Black Welsh Mountain Sheep are a small dual purpose breed that provides excellent mild mutton and a completely black, dense, durable fleece. Mature ewes average 100 lbs while mature rams can range from 132-143 pounds. The ewes are polled and the rams have an impressive set of horns. The tails must be kept long and undocked in purebred animals.

Our Black Welsh Mountain sheep are self-reliant and unspoiled, taking well to our farm pastures and woodlands. They seem to thrive on what they can find in the woods and forage a variety of plants: blackberries, new alder, thistle tips, and all grasses.  Their wool has been made famous by Welsh woolen mills, but it is only in the British genetics that I have seen its full display of its beauty.
