Valais at Gratitude Acres

We are expecting several embryos from exciting genetics in 2026, along with our breed up lambs. Having started from scratch in 2019 and experienced a couple of years with boys-boys-boys we are now finally seeing F4 lambs arriving this spring. The goal for 2026 is to streamline and simplify, so we will let go of some of our gems. Please reach out if you don’t see what you are looking for. This website is a constant work in progress.

Valais Blacknose Sheep are not perfect, but they come pretty close! Because we are so passionate about the breed, we have traveled to Sweden, the UK and Switzerland several times to learn and then learn more. I have learned how to grade and judge these beautiful sheep and I’m currently serving on the committee to help establish grading and judging according to the Swiss standards right here in the US.

Because we have the BEST sheep, we also have the BEST LGD’s to watch over them. We traveled to Italy and have imported the Sila Shepherd to the US. We adore watching our puppies play and interact with our sheep, and the lambs just ADORE the dogs!
