Reflecting on our farm milestone of having our Valais Blacknose sheep evaluated by expert Swiss and Swedish graders. Discover why authentic breed standards, intentional small-scale farming, and preserving the true roots of the breed matter so much.

Fred has spent more than 50 years raising and evaluating livestock. Some people have a gift for music, athletics, art. Fred can look at a young animal and know what it's going to become, and he knows how to feed and manage it so it gets there. We don't take that for granted. Every lamb born here benefits from that eye, and every buyer who purchases from us gets that knowledge behind the animal they're taking home.
