Mouton à nez noir du Valais

The black face against all that fluffy white wool is even more striking in person, I can't stop staring at her. She's been perfectly content on our pasture through sun and wind alike, never once spooking at anything that crossed her path.

Took her out during a downpour and she just stood there chewing, completely unbothered—the calmest sheep I've ever owned. Her white wool stays bright even after a muddy week, and that black face makes her look like she's always smiling.

It's the black face that gets me every time—so striking against the white wool, and honestly, our pasture's seen some brutal storms and she's never once gotten worked up. Weather just doesn't faze her, which makes morning chores a real pleasure.
