Since 2021, when our first crop of purebred Valais Blacknose lambs were born on US soil, we have steadily been learning new information about this amazing breed. We are finding the Valais Blacknose need additional care and we would like to share some valuable insight, specifically surrounding annual vitamin and mineral nutritive care.

Marita Tauni visited us at Wild Rose Farm shortly after the Black Sheep Gathering to teach us the importance of and how to manage our sheep’s horns for optimal health and well being.

Marita is an experienced veterinarian, and Valais Blacknose breeder from Sweden. She’s the founder and chairman of the Swedish Valais Blacknose Society and also one of the judges selected for the upcoming National Valais Blacknose Sheep Show USA in Iowa, September 29th & 30th.
