Welcome to the Valais Blacknose Club NI
This Club is for owners, breeders, valais lovers, in fact anyone with an interest is Valais sheep. It is our aim to promote the Valais breed and share knowledge and information relating to breeding standards, registration, showing, etc and provide a platform where members can ask advice, share tips and post pics.
We aim to approach agricultural shows and request that they include Valais Blacknose classes in their livestock schedule. We plan on running demo evenings covering a wide range of topics to include show prep, breeding, sheep health and much more with guest speakers specialising in various topics.
These club evenings will enable existing breeders to meet and will enable potential owners a chance to gain some knowledge of the breed and other valuable information before purchasing.
