Valais Blacknose
The Valais Blacknose sheep hails from the Swiss Alps and is undoubtedly one of the most striking sheep breeds you’ll ever encounter. With their spiral horns, distinct black patches on their noses, ears, eyes, and knees, they often appear to be donning masks. But there’s more to this breed than its striking appearance.
Originating in the Valais region of Switzerland, these sheep are well-adapted to high altitudes and rugged terrains. They have a unique thick, woolly coat that protects them against the harsh alpine weather. Apart from being breathtakingly beautiful, this wool is also utilized for various textiles, often fetching a hefty price in the market.
