Black Welsh Mountain sheep
- Black Welsh Mountain sheep
The Black Welsh Mountain sheep (Welsh "Defaid Mynydd Duon", IPA|/ˈdevаɪd ˈmənɪð ˈdɪɔn/), is a colour type of the Welsh Mountain sheep. It occurs occasionally in flocks of other colours, but is now often maintained as a separate strain. Like other Welsh Mountain sheep it is found mainly on the hills in Wales, but is also kept elsewhere.
Apart from being wholly black, the Black Welsh Mountain is like other Welsh Mountain sheep – small and hardy with no wool on the face or legs; the males are horned, but females are normally polled.
