Our ewe who went down with fly strike two weeks after we bought her has been the first to lamb. We think it's a boy (but when we went to check him over, she led him into the hedge)

He is a Balwen Welsh Mountain. Managed to get hold of him and check him over after work. Quite a big boy really!

Are his dam and sire pedigree?

No, he isn't eligible to be registered.

[/size]Both parents carry markings outside of the registration requirements. Jack's white facial marking does not come down to the his nose and Hotlips has too much white (too high on her legs and a complete circle around the mouth, hence her name

).

[/size]I am thinking of buying a registered Badger Faced Welsh Mountain ram (Torddu) later in the year, as I have two registered ewe's.
