Vigelands

Vigelands is a thinly documented sheep name and appears best treated as a local or flock-associated sheep label rather than a widely standardized international breed. The name suggests a Norwegian connection, and the color notes often attached to it point toward white sheep with possible darker markings. Without a strong public breed standard, it should be described cautiously as a local sheep type, not as one of Norway's major named breeds.

Practical handling of a Vigelands entry should focus on identity and documentation. Keepers or buyers would need flock history, breeder records, and photographs before making claims about origin, use, or purity. In management terms, such sheep should be evaluated on ordinary farm traits: sound feet, mothering, lamb growth, fleece usefulness, and adaptation to the local climate. Conservation value depends on proof of a maintained line, not just the survival of the name.
