"These, which are the most general breed in the hill districts, are
small horned, and all over of a white color. They are neat, compact
sheep. There is likewise a polled, short-wooled sort of sheep in these
parts of the country, which are esteemed by some. The genuine Welsh
mutton, from its smallness and delicate flavor, is commonly well known,
highly esteemed, and sold at a high price."
