MerlinVet Sponsors Blacknose Beauties 2024
We will be one of the Mainline Sponsors for Blacknose Beauties 2024 from the Valais Blacknose Society.
Taking place at H&H Mart Carlisle on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th August 2024, Blacknose Beauties returns for 2024. It’s the headline event for Valais Blacknose Sheep owners, with breeders all hoping to win, and opportunities to purchase your own Blacknose Beauties from the country’s top breeders to add to your flock. It’s a perfect opportunity for the community to come together, to make new friends, and to socialise.
Grading will be managed by qualified UK graders who have undergone training with Oberwalliser Schwarznasen Schafzuchtverband (Upper Valais Sheep Breeders Association). Appointed UK Graders are Jenni McAllister, Jamie Wood, along with Swiss Graders Philipp Schmid and Pascal Dini.

About the Valais Blacknose Society:
The Valais Blacknose Society was founded in January 2021 following the merger of Valais Blacknose Sheep Society UK and Valais Blacknose Breed Society, both of which were established in 2015 soon after the first imported sheep arrived in the UK.
The society’s council comprises of elected members from across the UK who work to uphold society values and represent all members.
VBS is committed to promoting and raising awareness of this unique breed and strive to preserve and uphold the Swiss breed standards in conjunction with supporting and educating fellow breeders to continue producing quality stock.
