We love animals.... All Animals...... And have you ever seen a sheep as cute as this? We were blown away when we first encountered a swiss valais blacknose sheep. Valais blacknose sheep are exclusively bred as pets in most countries, and you can see why. We knew that we wanted them to be a part of our lives. It’s not just the way they look, (although seriously, who could resist?) It’s the characteristics and behaviour of the breed. I remember being told that, with love and human contact, they would feel more like a dog than a sheep. It’s true! When you make a bond with a blacknose you get a lot back. Their personalities too, each is unique and special. Having these girls in our lives has truly enhanced it. My daughters too have embraced our new woolly family, both literally and metaphorically! Our sheep and lambs are cuddled and stoked every day which creates the most sociable little lambs.
We also believe that the very special valais blacknose character isn’t only a consequence of their genetics and that is why all of our sheep are born to valais blacknose mummies. Embryo transfers might be cheaper, they might be a clever way to develop certain genetics traits, but we believe it could be at the expense of that unique friendly character learned from a VBN mum in those early weeks and months. Personality is both nature and nurture.
