Not just me that reckons they’re too much like a welshie thenDaft money for a pr*ck eared Welsh tup. Serious feeding competition from what I saw too.
Had some Welsh folk in today and they were talking about the Brecknock Cheviot seemingly a lot of Southie in them.First time I've ever seen a "brecknock"....
That is not a Cheviot
Top prices:- 20,000gns bred by DG & B Thomas, Aberdyfnant and purchased by G Davies & Co, Pantglas. 16,000gns bred by G Davies & Co., Pantglas and purchased by DG & B Thomas, Aberdyfnant.

Bred from cheviots brought into wales and crossed with Welsh ewes in the 19th century.
Were in the 21st century - and those things look nothing like Cheviots.
Like a Caithness cheviot looks nothing like a southie? But both still cheviots
Thankyou for the lesson on Chevs, I had no idea, much appreciated……
But I’d still say that a Brecknock cheviot that’s been stabilised and called a cheviot for 150 years probably can still be called a cheviot . Not that I’m that worried at 11pm ,but there we go.
Going by the “beard” on them tups there’s more welshie than southieHad some Welsh folk in today and they were talking about the Brecknock Cheviot seemingly a lot of Southie in them.
What I’d call an improved Welsh
Caithness is a Northie - a cross between the Park and Hill type (Northie)
A Southie is a Southie.
They are both Cheviots - and they both look like Cheviots
A brecknock is a Welsh that's had Cheviot in it's history
What I’d call an improved Welsh
But it’s certainly lifted the wee Welsh ewe up though.Well.. they certainly didn't improve the Cheviot
Of course it’s a Cheviot, can’t you see the dip behind its shoulder?First time I've ever seen a "brecknock"....
