Welcome to the Balwen Sheep Society
Promoting Balwen Welsh Mountain Sheep since 1985.
Balwen Welsh Mountain Sheep originate from one small area of Wales
- the Tywi vally. Because of this, during the disastrous winter of 1947,
the breed was nearly wiped out. The breed was at its lowest ebb, with
only one ram surviving.
During the 1950's and 60's a steady increase took place, and in the
1970's people outside the valley began to take an interest in the breed.
The Balwen Welsh Mountain Breed Society was formed in 1985.

The Smallholders Show was a great success again this year. Congratulations to Jason Wybrow, Champion and to Meinir Jones, Reserve and thanks to the Judge, our President, Mr Alun Williams.
I would like to thank all members who kindly gave up their time to help on the stall which was of great interest to the public and hopefully new members. We won the reserve rosette for the effort.
I would also like to thank Dick Mills who kindly loaned us a ewe and lamb to go on the stall.
Mrs Elizabeth Eagles, Chairman
