Guide to Fiber Intensive: Valais Blacknose

“The world’s cutest sheep”: When Valais Blacknose photos started appearing on the internet, it was hard to believe they were real: they looked like stuffed animals. They are, of course, quite real and very pleasant animals. This document looks at the breed’s source environment in Switzerland and the means by which it has been introduced to the United States, initially by upgrading or upbreeding and more recently by embryo transplant. Valais Blacknose wool varies from pleasant to crispy.
