A limited program for buyers who are prepared to move forward when our Valais Blacknose sheep become available.
Rather than offering animals initially through open inventory, Vineyard Valais releases animals in controlled offerings. Priority Access members receive first selection within each release before availability is extended more broadly.
This program is intentionally limited and offered by approval only.Priority Access requires a refundable $1,000 deposit upon approval. The deposit secures position within upcoming releases, is applied toward the purchase price of a selected animal, is non-transferable, and does not reserve a specific animal.
The Priority Access deposit is refundable if no animal is selected during a Priority Access window, if written notice of withdrawal is provided, or if Vineyard Valais is unable to offer animals matching stated criteria within a reasonable release cycle. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within a reasonable processing timeframe.
Animals are offered through scheduled releases. Priority Access members are notified first and receive a seven day private selection window to confirm interest. Unselected animals may then be offered to the Release List or public availability.
Priority Access is not automatic. Interested parties must submit a request form, be approved by Vineyard Valais, and receive a private deposit invitation. Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance.
Vineyard Valais prioritizes long term breed integrity, animal welfare, and responsible placement. Priority Access exists to ensure animals are placed with buyers who share these values and are prepared to act when opportunities arise.
