Valais Blacknose Sheep

We are excited to announce a big new project here at Foxglove Farm! We have recently become involved in the Valais Blacknose breed-up program, using imported semen from the UK fromhigh quality, handsome Valais Blacknose Sheep rams. VBN sheep do not exist in the US, and the only way to produce them is to breed an appropriate purebred ewe of another breed to imported, highly quarantined frozen semen. We are part of the very first importation of these gorgeous creatures' genetics, and we had beautiful F2 (3/4) lambs and an incredible F3 (7/8) ram lamb this year!! We are in love with the real VBN look coming through!!! Eventually, after upbreeding for multiple generations from Finn foundation stock, we will have purebred Valais Blacknose Sheep available!! Photos below are from the Laparascopic Artificial Inseminations of our ewes. Our stock is registered with the VBSS.
