Larkspur
Iowa Kiwi is a full blood Valais Blacknose Ewe that was the first full-blood addition to Carpenter Creek Ranch. Kiwi is out of Heartland Bojangles and Parkdale Dot, two top tier Valais breeders in New Zealand. Kiwi came to the U.S. as an embryo and was raised by Iowa Valais prior to coming to our farm as a lamb. Kiwi's full blood sister, Iowa Koala, was awarded Maximum Points and Reserve Champion at the 2023 National Show. We're very proud to say that Kiwi graded (-1) Maximum Points by the Swiss Certified International Judges at the 2024 and 2025 National Show. The Judges included Gerallt Jones of Snowdonia, Raymond Irvine and Jenni McAllister of Highland, Jamie Wood of Prendwick, and Phil Garrod of Puddle Lane...all renowned breeders of Swiss genetics. Professional grading is very important for purchasers interested in breeding and showing the best. Kiwi is extremely well marked with large black knee patches and gorgeous curls. Kiwi is registered with both VBSANA and VBSS with DNA confirmed at UC Davis and Flock 54.
