Both articles are new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Two QPQs have been performed. No copyvio detected. The second part of the hook is verified with inline reference, but the first part is not. Neither article says that Welsh Mountain sheep is the mainstay of Welsh agriculture. -Zanhe (talk) 00:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Would you be happy with ALT1 or shall I make more radical changes? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:04, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the Welsh Mountain sheep (pictured), an important part of Welsh agriculture, was described by the agriculturalist Arthur Young as "the most despicable of all types"?

ALT1 is better, but the most relevant sentence in the article has no reference: "In rural areas, sheep are still an important part of life". Although the importance of sheep can be inferred from the articles, I believe DYK requires hook facts to be directly supported by references. -Zanhe (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Another suggestion (but I hate it because the Agriculture article is the main one). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:59, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that the livestock of Wales includes the Welsh Mountain sheep (pictured) which was described by the agriculturalist Arthur Young as "the most despicable of all types"?

Or

ALT3 ... that the Welsh Mountain sheep (pictured), a traditional part of Welsh agriculture, was described by the agriculturalist Arthur Young as "the most despicable of all types"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:04, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT3 is good to go. Image is properly licensed. See above for the other criteria. -Zanhe (talk) 18:18, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
