Our Genetics
Parkdale Valais Blacknose has genetics from several top flocks in the United Kingdom.
Our first embryos imported in 2018, were from two outstanding rams, Prendwick Eros and Predwick Basil from Jamie Wood, Prend wick Farm, followed by embryos from Raymond Irvine (Valais Blacknose Scotland) and Adam Kirkbride (Cumberland Valais Blacknose) and semen from Geralt and Kerry Costello-Jones (Snowdonia Valais Blacknose).
OUR RAMS
Parkdale Elvis
Parkdale Elvis is a nicely marked pure Swiss ram with a gorgeous fleece and correct conformation.
Elvis brings exciting new genetics to the Parkdale stud with his sire being Snowdonia Goliath. Goliath was the Blacknose Beauties Overall Reserve Champion and Overall Male Champion in 2021, also setting a new breed sale record.
Elvis’ dam is one of the first pure Valais ewes born at Parkdale (Bailey).
Elvis is one to watch.
