Our Valais Blacknose Sheep
Several years ago we found out about the Valais Blacknose sheep, that are dubbed the "Worlds Cutest Sheep".
We are now offering for sale - 3 wethers which are 75% Valais. These guys are friendly, have great wool and would make excellent pets. Contact us!
And this is how you get to having almost purebred Valais. The first generation (F1) would be 50% Valais Blacknose, since the father is 100%. You then take that generation and breed them to another Valais, giving the 2nd generation (F2) 75% Valais, third generation (F3) would be 88%, fourth generation (F4) would be 94%, and the fifth generation (F5) would be 97% Valais Blacknose.
FROM USA TODAY: The Valais Blacknose sheep originating in the Valais region of Switzerland are known as the cutest sheep in the world and it’s easy to see why.
With their black faces, long spiral horns, black patches on the knees, hocks and feet, and fluffy-looking fleece, it’s no wonder their popularity is said to be “taking the world by storm,” as reported by NewsHub in New Zealand.
