Badger Face Torwen A Welsh mountain sheep breed facing decline has been added to a rare breed watchlist. Numbers of the Badger Face Torwen have declined nearly 30 per cent since 2013 and has now been added to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s (RBST) watchlist. The watchlist indexes the UK’s rarest native livestock and equine breeds, and RBST will work in partnership with the Badger Face Welsh Mountain Sheep Society to increase Torwen breeding numbers, prevent inbreeding, and safeguard the breed’s future. Torwen sheep have a black face with white facial markings, and a black fleece with a white belly (Torwen means ‘white belly’).
