Welcome to Parkdale Valais Blacknose

- Home of the world's cutest sheep -

Originating from Switzerland, the Valais Blacknose were first imported into New Zealand
(via embryos) in 2017 and Parkdale Valais Blacknose Stud was established in 2018.

We offer pure Valais rams and wethers each spring and a small selection of pure Valais ewes. Semen is also available from several of our top sires.

We also offer scanned in-lamb F1 and F2 ewes bred to one of our purebred Valais rams and registered with the NZ Sheep Breeders Association as part of the NZ Valais Blacknose Breeding-Up Programme.

In addition, we have embryos and semen available in North America.
