Valais Blacknose

From the Swiss Alps to Pōhatu bay, New Zealand
This is our dream.

At Pōhatu we have a breeding up flock of these adorable sheep considered the cutest in the world, and as we get closer to purebred that dream is becoming a reality.

At Pōhatu we fell in love with this beautiful insanely cute and rare breed, and have a breeding up flock well on our way to purebred statice. We have used Purebred rams over base ewes including Romney, English Leicester and Long Wool Lincoln. We have also purchased our first Purebred ewe so are now breeding purebreds at Pōhatu.

We are registered flock 34 with NZSB so have transferrable stud stock for sale every year.

Check out our For sale page for contact details.

We purchased our first Valais Blacknose ram, Stratheden Bobby, a registered purebred ram lamb with an amazing pedigree. Bobby gave us our first F1’s in a breeding up program using English Leicester, Romney and some specially selected Perendale base ewes.

Rams to follow Bobby have been the beautiful Remarkable Ruben, who gave us our first F2's, and Spectacular Stratheden Charlie, a big stretchy ram with a heap of presence we crossed over rare Long Wool Lincoln base ewes to produce our last quality F1’s from another very special breed.

Each year brings us closer to the coveted F5 purebred, and as we go we endeavour to purchase quality registered rams to assure when we do get to purebred we have a flock of gorgeous friendly sheep to be proud of.
