2026 National VBS Show

We had an incredible time attending the 2026 National VBS Show! It was a truly unforgettable experience setting up our aisle, connecting with fellow breeders from all over the country, and showcasing the hard work, care, and dedication we pour into our flock at Valais Blacknose Sheep of Sugar Creek. There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of the show ring, surrounded by such passionate people who share the same love for this extraordinary Swiss breed.

We are also immensely proud of how our Sugar Creek sheep performed throughout the competition. Seeing our animals evaluated against some of the best in the country—and earning wonderful placings across our entries like Sugar Creek Nala, Sugar Creek Nugget, and the rest of our lineup—was an incredible validation of our breeding program. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our aisle to chat, look at our sheep, and support us. We are heading home inspired, grateful, and already looking forward to the next chapter on the farm!
