Swiss Valais Blacknose Sheep Breed

We  started our flock in 2021 with 5 ewe  lambs , all registered Scottish Blackface Breed. We purchased the lambs from a reputable  local breeder giving them the highest quality attention and love.  We are continuing the highest quality care  and attention  that these unique and beautiful animals deserve .  They are loved and pampered while on our farm. 

We are currently a member of the Scottish Blackface Breeders Union ( SBBU ) , Indiana Sheep Association ( ISA ) Valais Blacknose Sheep Society ( VBSS ) as well as Valais Blacknose International Sheep Breeders Association & Registry 

 ( VBISBAR ) 

We are currently breeding with  genetics from Elite Sheep Reproduction  , LLC , Valais Blacknose New Zealand & Super Sire LTD. 

We are using frozen semen straws from Elite Sheep Reproduction LLC, Valais Blacknose New Zealand,  as well as adding purebred Valais Blacknose  embryos from Super Sire LTD to our flock this year in 2023. 

The frozen semen straws have been imported from Valais Blacknose New Zealand  using only the highest quality rams. 

The purebred blacknose embryos are provided by Remarkable Valais in New Zealand using the highest quality rams. 

These frozen semen straws and purebred embryos have been  handled with the utmost care while being shipped in liquid nitrogen containers to the US.  They are handled only by professionals and stored at Reproduction Speciality Group, Inc located in Lebanon, IN.  The procedure is done at the RSG facility  by experienced  & licensed Veterinarians while the ewe is sedated for comfort.   

Following the procedures the ewes are  cared for at our farm with the greatest attention to love for the animal . Our animals are considered pets and are treated as such while spending a lot of quality time with them. 

The first Generation ( F1 ) lambs are from  registered  Scottish Blackface  dams (mothers ) and the Sire ( father )  is from 100% Valais Blacknose Ram Strathedeen Alexander  & Heartland Aragorn . 

These sheep are some of the cutest sheep in the world.  

BUT WHY ?

They are a beautiful stout and strong animal with amazing fleece quailities.  The color markings are so adorable and unique . The purebreds are rare to the US at this time with only a handful available . 

WHAT MAKES THEM  SO DIFFERENT ?

They are very docile in nature . 

They are very loving , curious and love to be around people . 

They make wonderful pets due to their unique character , disposition and loving nature.  

We have experienced first hand the loving and docile nature of the Valais  Blacknose Breed while visiting to the UK in August 2022 . Where we attended the National Black Beauties Show in Carlisle , England. 

We also we given the wonderful opportunity to wash and interact with these purebred sheep at Jamie & Nicola Woods home in the UK while  washing their sheep and preparing them for the show… 

 We currently have  F1 Valais Blacknose sheep that were born on our farm in 2022.  They are very loveable and outgoing ..
