Welsh Sheep 2011
The Association was represented at Welsh Sheep 2011 held in May with new secretary Anna Johnson there to meet members and promote the benefits of the Welsh Half-bred ewe.
Members Ieuan Woosnam, John and Richard Evans and Arthur George and Liz Price loaned sheep for the stand at Welsh Sheep 2011. One of Arthur and Liz's yearling half-bred ewes won second prize in the competition for the best wool on the hoof judged across all the breed stands and all the sheep were a credit to the Welsh Half-bred and her commercial attributes.
