At the same time, it must face a globalized word with changing consumer tastes. This research is a qualitative validation of quantitative elements for the measurement of capabilites that can be found in the published model of dynamic capacities in the dairy sheep industry. The valuation provided by experts empowers the reliability of this model. The Delphi method was applied to a panel of 107 experts in the Manchego dairy sheep industry. About 46 % of the experts come from the academic environment with accredited transfer in the sector in a period of at least 5 years, and 54 % are managers, workers and professionals who advise this sector in a period of at least 5 years. In addition, equity has been maintained from a gender perspective. Persons consulted a 56 % of the indicators identified in the model have been ratified, and an explanation for 77 % of the differences identified has been provided. The study concludes with a favorable evaluation after analyzing the differences detected. This model is useful for establishing actions to strengthen the competitive position of the farms.
