THE BLACK WELSH
The Black Welsh Mountain Sheep graze freely on the hills of Wales. They are a young breed and fairly rare, the worldwide population is only 10000 and The Breeders' Society for Black Welsh Mountain Sheep is barely 100 years old
They are small and hardy, their wool is sufficiently fine, soft and densely stapled to be regarded as a speciality type, highly regarded in USA, Canada and Japan. Their wool now commands its own grade by the Wool Marketing Board.
