LAMBS AVAILBLE IN 2025
Our Story
Carpenter Creek Ranch is located in the beautiful prairie of South Dakota. Our farm is home to a half dozen different species of animals including horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and sheep! In 2022 we added Valais Blacknose Sheep and currently breed full-blood Valais and breed-ups (%) from both Scottish Blackface and Babydoll Foundation.

Our EWES
When we started our Valais breed-up program in 2022, we decided to go two routes. We purchased a couple Scottish Blackface ewes to pair with full-blood imported Valais semen. Scottish Blackface have similar characteristics to the VBN, which expedites the breed-up process. We also saw some Valais/Babydoll crosses and found them to be adorable. We thought some folks might prefer a smaller and sometimes polled sheep. We also liked the heavier wool this cross produced. A year later we added a very high quality full-blood ewe lamb (-1 Max Points), who produced our first full-blood ram. As of 2025, we've been able to offer 100% full-blood lambs and numerous levels of breed-up ewes and wethers. We want to give you options on how you start your Valais adventure, whether it be a breed-up from different foundations, a full-blood 100% Valais, a show animal or a pasture pet.
RAMS/SIRES in our program
We currently utilize imported semen in our full-blood program and utilize our own rams for live cover with our % ewes. CARpenter Creek's Leuk is available for live cover at our farm.
