Our fall sheep sales list is now available. At Desert Weyr, we breed Black Welsh Mountain sheep. Our flock is the only performance-recorded flock in the world of this breed. Black Welsh Mountain sheep are a small sheep that is ideally suited to small farmsteads. All of these sheep are trained to electric nets for grazing management, and they’re easy to handle.
The USA Maternal number is their USA Maternal EBV from the National Sheep Improvement Program. SRC is the Self-Replacing Carcass EBV, also from NSIP.
Bloodlines are by pedigree and based on the analysis of the National Animal Germplasm Program folks in Ft. Collins (2014). All sheep are double-registered in the UK and the American Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Association. We pay all transfer fees.
Buyers are responsible for any required vet inspections, and they must pick up their sheep here at the farm or arrange for transport.
I have two 2-year-olds who lambed this past year available, but they are both spares of their respective bloodlines.

Brunhilda produced twin ewes this year – her first lambing without assistance – and they were up, dry, and nursed with no problem. Brava produced a single ram with large horn buds, so she needed a small assist to clear her pelvis. She is a sweet and friendly ewe.
I also have 12 yearling ewes who are ready to breed this year.
