Best Bet Tunis

Best Bet Tunis, Tunis sheep in Buskirk, NY, serves Rensselaer County and the Capital District near Albany. Aubrey and Brooke Gerhardt have been raising Tunis sheep for several years, and they maintain registration through the American Tunis Sheep Society and adhere to recommended health protocols. Their pasture-based flock follows a rotational grazing plan, and lambs are handled daily to develop calm, farm-ready temperaments. All breeding stock is evaluated for structural soundness and parasite resistance.

The farm’s small-size operation encourages close attention to individual animals and early socialization with family members and visitors. Their sheep have earned placings at local agricultural fairs and are noted for consistent fleece quality and adaptable nature. Using sustainable practices and simple facilities, they aim to support fellow smallholders and homesteaders with reliable breeding stock. They offer guidance on pasture management and lamb nutrition tailored to each flock’s specific needs.
