The Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Breeders' Association was formed in 1920 and it is perhaps indicative of the Association's awareness of the commercial meat market that formation took place at a meeting convened by Major and Mrs Jervoise (Flock no. 3) at the Smithfield Show of that year.
Today the Flock Book has around 300 members throughout the UK, Northern Ireland and overseas and interest continues to rise rapidly.
