Hi
We rent some land for our small flock of balwens. Does anyone else out there keep this lovely breed?

Hi,  We moved to Powys nine months ago.  We are planning to have a small number of sheep and are being drawn towards Balwens. Where abouts are you? We are halfway between Welshpool and Machynlleth.

Hello from mid-Devon.
We have a modest flock of Balwens - and we adore them!  Though they are pesky!

Hi from north Cumbria  :wave:

No Balwens here, but I spun Balwen for the first time on the recent Tour of British Fleece.   :spin:
