Better than pork belly, try Mutton Breast, braised then sliced and sauted or rolled with a stuffing and roasted it's an elegant but inexpensive holiday meal. Add the promo code WINTER_NEWS during checkout for 5% off until the end of the year.

Breast is from the belly with layers of fat and lean meat. Perfect for smoking or braising a facny presentation is to layer a stuffing and roll it and slow roast. Breast can also be cured for a lovely mutton bacon for a tasty breakfast option.

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 breed that is ideally suited to small farmsteads. All these sheep are trained to electric nets for grazing management and are 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 the the National Animal Germplasm Program folks in Ft. Collins did in 2014.

All sheep are double registered in the UK and in the American Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Association. We pay all transfer fees.

Buyers are responsible for any required vet inspections and must pick up their sheep here at the farm.

I have two 2 year olds who lambed this past year but are spares of their bloodlines.

$400.00 Brunhilda Wibbly Gretchen 2019-05-02 RR Cluster 6 x (Cluster 4 x Cluster 8 ) 107.14 112.19
$400.00 Brava Sterling Gwernen 2019-05-17 RR Cluster 6 107.64 112.32

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 needed a tiny assist to clear her pelvis. She is a sweet and friendly ewe.

Then I have 12 yearling ewes who are ready to breed this year.
