The National Western Stock Show is one of the best ways to kick off the new year with rodeos, shopping and livestock. But there is one animal that’s turning heads this year.
Meet the rare, and adorable, Valais Blacknose sheep. A flock of this unique breed from Nashville.Farm is currently educating guests at the stock show, but there is more to them than just their cute faces.
According to Jacque Watkins Skinner with Nashville.Farm, the Valais Blacknose sheep originate from the Valais region of Switzerland and were exclusively raised there until the sheep were imported to the British Isles in 2013 and 2014. Today, the Swiss herdbooks include almost 13,700 animals.
