I don't understand. It's there a Welsh stereotype in not aware of?

Fyi, apparently the sheep thing was a quirk of the law. Most sheep were owned by English nobles. Steeling a sheep was summery execution by hanging from the nearest tree. However, carnal relations with it were dealt with by the church (with a mostly Welsh clergy).

I'll leave it to the reader to figure out why the English landowners caught an unsettling number of Welshman admitting to trying to shag sheep.
