It’s one week until the Inaugural USA National Valais Blacknose Sale on September 27th at 5 pm! We are excited to consign our farm favorite, Maple, as Lot 3!

WIVBS Maple checks many boxes for us, including high-quality genetics, lovely fleece, balanced conformation, bold ribcage, and sound structure. Maple’s dam, Iowa Lavender Haze, graded -1 points and was a class winner at the 2024 USA National Valais Show, bringing home a blue ribbon and Swiss bell! Her sire, Parkdale Flynn, is sired by Snowdonia Goliath and was the Champion Valais Blacknose Ram and Reserve Supreme Champion Valais Blacknose at the New Zealand Agricultural Show in 2023.

Maple is 100% Purebred, is DNA verified and is registered with Valais Blacknose Sheep Society of North American! She comes open and ready for IVF this fall!
