Meet Oreo, a 100% fullblood Valaisblacknose Spitti ewe born on our Northeast Ohio farm. Spittis are a rare, reverse colored recessive trait that occasionally shows up in this Swiss heritage breed. We break down the real genetics behind a true fullblood Spitti, why so many US "Spitti" sheep are actually breed up animals carrying other breed genetics, and why a documented fullblood ewe like Oreo is one of the rarest, breeding eligible color patterns in the breed today.

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.
