Royal Welsh Centenary Year

The Dolwen Flock was winner of the 2004 Royal Welsh supreme interbreed group for the best group of three sheep, one male and two females owned by the same exhibitor. The group was judged by Mr James Thomson from Yetholm, Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland from over 40 different breeds of sheep and almost 3000 individual entries.

Royal Welsh

Since the year 2000 we have enjoyed exhibiting at the Royal Welsh this involves more than one trip to get caravan, sheep, the four of us plus our dog set up for the show week. It’s exhausting, but a more than rewarding experience.
