Why Tunis sheep?
Tunis are great for beginning shepherds. They have excellent foraging abilities. Lambing, which can happen year-round, usually requires no intervention, and the mothers take good care of their lambs. The medium size of the Tunis makes them relatively manageable without specialized equiment (although a sheep chair definitely helps for trimming hooves). Tunis lamb is recognized by the Slow Food USA® Ark of Taste designation. It is tender and tasty! Our lambs’ wool is medium grade and long stapled, and can be used for handspinning, felting or hooking rugs. The best thing about the Tunis sheep is that they are docile and very attractive.
