Valais Blacknose Sheep Clinic at the ranch in Burleson. September 12, 2026 10 am
Love the lambs.. but OH the WOOL !
This clinic is for potential buyers, not a petting zoo day !
Nothing like Valais Blacknose Sheep...but things you need to know.
You MUST know about having the correct genotype per Texas Animal Health Commission...this topic has to do with your animals' fight with SCRAPIE. You will learn about LAPAROSCOPIC AI, the breed up program and what the F's mean, learn about imported frozen semen from the UK and New Zealand stored here in Texas. Learn about shearing and the value of their wool/locks...and you will tour our Wool Studio and see needle felting, wet felting, weaving, spinning, dyeing, drum carding, and the many items created. Sheep Vets are often difficult to find, so you will become a part of a network that can help you down the road.
Cost for this clinic is $40 per person, or $50 for a couple. Again, this is for serious potential buyers, not just a chance to pet sheep. You will meet and love on our Valais Sheep here too, (And our Gypsy Horses too.)
