My small flock of sheep has now expanded to 6 sheep with plans to expand in 2023...

Hannah Russell Valais story

After studying BTEC Agricultural at school and always being an animal lover, I knew one day I wanted my own flock of sheep. I've loved Valais blacknose sheep for a number of years, I was at the great yorkshire show one year with my Mum and we purchased a painting of the Valais blacknose sheep, I thought they were really cute but didn't know much about the breed, I hadn't seen them before.

Fast forward 5 years in to 2020 after been diagnosed with Cancer I started to look in to sheep once again and looked over at the painting in the house, 'Valais blacknose sheep' why hadn't I thought about them previously!

After lots of research I found a local breeded and along came Izzy & Ida in June 2021, I totally fell in love with them both how could I not they have such cheeky characters and personality.

Izzy & Ida provided me great comfort during a challenging time in my life, I'm already aware of how amazing animals are for therapy after Little Alf came to live with me.

I now have 6 sheep in total, Izzy & Ida, Jim Jam & Jelly, Teddy & Tim, I'm sheep obsessed.

Izzy & Ida and Jim Jam & Jelly are all related, Jim Jam & Jelly are Izzy & Ida's younger twin sisters, they are all Valais blacknose sheep and we are registered under the flock name of 'Yorkshire Valais' I have plans to build up my Valais black nose flock in the future and for 2023.

Teddy & Tim are my two ryeland sheep!
