Badger Face Welsh Mountain ewe lambs in first field as I start the walk up to Colebatch Hill, a subHuMP. It is a hardy upland breed known for producing a high percentage of twins and triplets under good conditions. It appears in two sub-varieties of its own: Torddu, "black-bellied", which has a white fleece with dark face and belly, and the Torwen, "white-bellied", which has a black body with a white belly and white stripes over the eyes. The Torddu is the more common of the two types. In both types, ewes are polled and rams are horned. Although this breeds grows wool, its primarily raised for meat.
