Llanwenog Sheep are a versatile Native breed
They are economic (cheap to feed and long living), productive (twins are the norm) and they produce exceptional quality tasty meat.

The number of Llanwenog sheep has declined in recent years. The Rare Breeds Survival Trust 2016 Watchlist show the number of registered breeding ewes has fallen below 3000. The Llanwenog have returned to Category 5 (Minority) after successfully moving into Category 6 in 2008.
After a more thorough analysis of popuation trends this year, the RBST key message is that more work is required to ensure that native breed livestock populations survive in sufficient numbers to play their part in a sustainable future for UK farming. Find out more about Llanwenog Sheep
