August - Torwen Ram lamb 

Judge: Eleri Fflur Evans

I am 25 yrs old and have recently bought my first home in a small village near Aberystwyth.
Day to day I work in a nursery caring for young children but ky main interest lays with my sheep. My family and I keep commercial sheep mainly on our smallholding, but I have a small flock of Torwen sheep which I enjoy looking after.  I am responsible for the care and the health of my sheep and I strive to improve my flock of Torwen sheep. My interest started at a young age when my parents bought me and my older sister our own torwen and torddu ewes. I instantly took a big interest and grew my flock of Torwen sheep gradually as I grew older.
I entered my first competition at the age of 9 at one of the local shows and became successful at it. I show my sheep to this day winning rosettes and cups which sit proudly in my new home.  I happily prepare my sheep mysef for upcoming shows. I take good care and responsibility for my sheep and I always try to make sure they look their very best. I wish to enter bigger competitions in the future and grow my interest further.

Judge for the Yearling Ewe Class: Rhys Mills.
Rhys is currently completing his A Levels at Llanidloes High School before hopefully heading off to study Geography at University. Alongside his study Rhys has continued to grow and improve his flock of Torwen Badger Face Sheep. Rhys started to keep Badgers after his grandparents purchased some Torddu ewe lambs to run alongside the Torwen ewes which they already owned. The Torwens took Rhys’s interest and he started showing at smaller local shows with success which led to a real enthusiasm for the Breed and Society. Over the past years Rhys has increased his flock from the starting 2 ewes to a flock of nearly 40 breeding ewes.  Rhys is fully responsible for the day to day care and management of his flock and most importantly the preparation of his show team. In 2019 Rhys had his most successful show year winning Male Champion Torwen at the RWAS. Rhys further demonstrated his presentation and showing skills at the All Stars Event last year where he competed on behalf of the Badger Sheep Society alongside Sean Jeffreys and Ellie Layton, taking a well-deserved 2nd place. Rhys was also selected by the Society to judge at the Annual NSA Sale of Torwens alongside Ifor Jones.
