It describes the Monterey flock he comes from. It does not make a wether breeding stock, and it does not mean pending paperwork has already transferred.

Do you sell miniature or teacup Valais Blacknose sheep?

No. Monterey Valais identifies each sheep by actual breed, sex, age, records, and placement role rather than using unverified miniature or teacup labels. We discuss mature-size expectations and the records behind our own animals directly with qualified buyers.
