Judges List

Please find below the contact list of judges for the year ahead.
We encourage all members to reach out to judges in their area — not only to discuss upcoming shows, but also to share ideas, experiences, and advice. Building strong connections within our community helps us all promote the Balwen Sheep and ensure high standards across the breed.

Members are especially encouraged to support and encourage Balwen Sheep classes at local agricultural shows. Many of our breeders are also able to judge Badger Face, Black Welsh Mountain, and other native breeds, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the ring.

If you’re planning to enter or organise a local show, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the judges listed — they’re always happy to offer guidance and support.
