What should I look for when evaluating a Valais Blacknose lamb?
Valais Blacknose sheep are evaluated on a specific breed standard that originated in Switzerland, where the breed was developed for both meat and wool production. In the United States they are primarily sought for their striking appearance, exceptional temperament, and value as pets, show animals, and breeding stock.
Key characteristics to look for include the distinctive black patches on the face, ears, knees, and feet. Ewes have a black patch on the tail which rams do not. Both rams and ewes carry spiral horns, which may have black streaking. The ideal body is well-muscled and substantial, with a short neck and broad frame.
For the complete official breed standard, visit the Valais Blacknose Sheep Society at valaisblacknosesheepsociety.org/breed-standard. As a former VBSS president with formal grading training in Switzerland and Sweden, Morgan is happy to walk prospective buyers through what to look for in person.
