Welcome
12th May 2023
NSA Welsh Sheep 2023 welcomes visitors to Red House Farm, Aberhafesp, Newtown, Powys, SY16 3HH on Tuesday 16th May.
The on-farm event showcases the very best of commercial farming in Wales. It is a recognised technical and informative event, not to be missed by sheep producers far and wide. This year there will be a new emphasis on telling the public of the positive story that is Welsh sheep farming.
Amongst many attractions on the day will be the busy seminar tent featuring discussions on the role of lamb and mutton in a balanced diet, the sustainability of sheep farming, and the importance of looking after the next sheep farming generation.
There will also be a farm tour, competitions, seminars, sheepdog trials. The Health Hub will feature the first nationwide sheep scab eradication plan, Gwaredu Scab.
Hosts, Hugh and Sioned Owen, with their son, Dafydd, are especially keen on also sharing their farming story with the public. The event is always sheep industry focused, but this year it will be more outward facing, with local schools and colleges invited.
Red House extends to 550 acres and rises to 855 feet above sea level, with sweeping views down to the Severn Valley. The Owen family run 1,000 Texel cross ewes at Red House, together with Dafydd’s flock of 55 pedigree Beltex sheep.
There are a hundred pedigree Limousin suckler cows, mostly registered. They also run a flock of a hundred pedigree Texel sheep.
