  • Ruhi Hamilton with her Wiltshire Horn sheep on their family farm in Carmarthenshire, Wales. <br />
<br />
The Wiltshire Horn is an ancient British breed from the Chalk Downs region of England. Reaching large numbers during the 17th and 18th centuries, they became almost extinct by the beginning of the 20th. A few dedicated breeders persevered with Wiltshires, forming a breed society in 1923. Since the 1970's interest in their unique qualities has increased and by 1982 there were 45 pedigreed flocks in England.<br />
<br />
Wiltshire Horn Sheep were exported to Australia in the 1950's and again in the 1970's. They are currently attracting attention for their lack of wool and the need for shearing, as well as their ability to pass on their vitality and quality meat in a cross-breeding program.

  • The Williams family raises Hill Radnor on Trawscoed Farm in the Brecon Beacons region of Wales. <br />
<br />
Lyn Williams is seen looking over the sheep with the Welsh hills in the background. <br />
<br />
The Hill Radnor is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the United Kingdom. Classified as one of the mountain (or upland) breeds, it is most common from Powys down to southwest Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. The Hill Radnor has a dense white fleece, with a light brown face and legs. Ewes are polled and rams are horned.[1] It is hardy and forages well, like many hill breeds. Hill Radnor ewes have good maternal instincts, and are sometimes crossed with lowland rams to yield market lambs or mules. Lambing percentages vary under different conditions but the breed can easily average around 155%.[2] The breed is listed as "vulnerable" by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust of the U.K.
