When she was a lamb on a different farm, we chose Cupcake because her genetics were new for us and she exhibited all the best Tunis traits - deep red color, clean legs, expressive face, and long pendulous ears. And at her first shearing she turned out to have some of the best Tunis wool we have ever seen. At her second shearing her wool seemed better than ever - 24.5 micron. But she never settled (failed to fall pregnant even by two different rams), and we are a small operation that cannot keep a fleece-only ewe. She would be a spectacular addition to a spinner's flock. Asking $250 but will entertain a transportation consideration, especially with the purchase of more than one sheep.

Patience is a registered ewe who has earned her name! She is super friendly, no drama, and an excellent mom who has twice raised twins. At 3 years old, she is just hitting her peak production years and will give great lambs to someone who wants pure-bred Tunis, or who wants to stamp lambs in a mixed flock with the well-known and sought after Tunis feed efficiency. We have to get serious about trimming the number of sheep on the farm, and we kept one of this gal’s daughters last year. $300 |
Little Sal is a nice growthy ewe lamb born March 2019. She's curious and friendly and would bring a wide mix of genetics to a flock including some from the East Coast - a rarity for this breed in our area. she is a twin whose sister has already sold. She will be ready to go on August 1. $250
Brownie is a twin ram lamb on the smaller side, which is perfect for a smaller flock and for someone looking to showcase the smaller heritage-style Tunis genetics. Even as the last born of this year's lambs, there is no reason to believe that he would not be able to do his job come late fall. Ready August 1. $250
Sage is growing into her classic creamy Tunis fleece, but her legs and head are staying beautiful dark red! She's a singleton who never understood she was a lamb; she was born a sheep and tried to eat out of the Big Girls' feeder from day one. Hard to predict, but it wouldn't surprise us to see her as a flock leader and producer of great lambs. $250
Surfer Boy (l) and Moon Doggie (r) are stocky, growthy, cross-bred lambs with all the vim and vigor cross-breeding implies. Dad was a Tunis, and mom was a California Red-Tunis cross that we affectionately nicknamed Puffball for her enormous and gorgeous fleece. Either would be an outstanding ram in a spinner's flock and their lambs would have the potential of their grandma's gorgeous wool. Almost certainly they will be interested in those ewes by fall! $150 each. |
