Black Welsh Mountain Sheep (BWMS) are a small dual purpose breed that provides excellent mild mutton and a completely black, dense and durable fleece. BWMS are small and easy to handle and are ideal for farms where their hardiness, good mothering and feed efficiency are significant assets. Rams have attractive horns that curl around their ears and ewes are polled. They make a perfect small farm sheep.
The ABWMSA advances the public’s knowledge and use of purebred Black Welsh Mountain Sheep. It promotes their identity and versatility, and works to conserve and protect this rare breed.
