A striking yearling ram with proven show-ring genetics
Sold
Vineyard Marnier is a striking yearling Valais Blacknose ram combining eye-catching breed character with a proven show-ring pedigree. His distinctive Kobra Kai markings, strong head, and balanced structure make him an exciting breeding and exhibition prospect.
His sire, Iowa Kobra Kai, earned just one point off Maximum at grading, won his class at the 2023 USA National Valais Blacknose Show, and placed second in class at the 2024 USA Nationals. Kobra Kai has also proven himself as a producer, siring VTVBS Magic, Grand Champion Spitti at the 2025 USA National Valais Blacknose Show.
His dam, Iowa La Niña, also graded just one point off Maximum and earned first in her class at Iowa, contributing the style, correctness, and breed character that are evident throughout Marnier.
Originally retained as part of our keeper group, Marnier was selected for our long-term breeding program. As our program priorities have evolved, we have decided to make him available to the right flock, creating a rare opportunity to acquire a yearling ram backed by accomplished genetics and proven performance.
