Valais at Gratitude Acres

We are now offering embryos 100% of Marita Tauni’s genetics through CCM Valais. We are also waiting for embryos from Emma Collison’s Gemstone flock, with genetics previously not availble.

2025 has been busy and is not done yet! So far we have gotten F1’s F2’s, F3’s and purebred lambs. We will also be offering some of our registered foundation stock for sale. Please look at our for sale page as we continue to update!!

We are in the process of updating our pages, so please call/text (508) 344-9820 or reach out to us via FB if you have any questions regarding any sheep, embryos or bred ewes for sale!

We are passionate about Valais Blacknose Sheep. We have traveled to Sweden, Switzerland and the UK to learn and are among the first group of Americans to participate in a Swiss grading course.

We breed toward the Swiss breed standards and love both our breed up program and our purebred sheep!

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!

Why Valais Blacknose Sheep?

The short answer is because they are the most personable, loving, cuddly sheep ever! And it’s absolutely true- they ARE the cutest sheep in the world! Falling in love with Valais Blacknose Sheep happens instantly. They are also a breed of sheep that can pay for themselves, both by breeding and selling, but also because their wool is quite fantastic.

2025 will be another exciting year with many new genetics and first and foremost- fantastic lambs!
