Many of our members were introduced to the breed after seeing them in the show ring – it is a great shop window.
The Llanwenog’s striking, substantial presence and ease of handling makes it the ideal show sheep. There are dedicated Llanwenog Classes at the Three Counties Show in Malvern, elsewhere, the breed tends to fall into ‘Other Native’ or ‘Hill & Heath’ Categories.
We are keen to encourage as many of you as possible to show off your sheep and to assist, the Support Group show stand is available to anyone wanting a bit more presence; simply contact the Secretary to make arrangements. Events where the Show Stand will be have an SS by them (see below) Show results for 2014 and 2013 can be found on the LLanwenog Breed Society website, show results for previous years can be found in the Archive section of this website.
