Blue Ridge Tunis

Blue Ridge Tunis is a breeder of Tunis sheep in Fennimore, WI, southwestern Wisconsin near Madison. This farm has a longstanding operation dedicated to improving the Tunis breed through careful selection, open flock records, and genetic health screenings guided by the Tunis Sheep Breeders Association.

Lambs are raised on rotational pastures with weather-protected shelters, and socialization begins within days of birth to encourage gentle temperaments and resilience. Owner Dick Piechowski integrates sustainable practices such as rotational grazing, native forage plantings, and low-stress handling to support soil health and animal welfare.

The flock moves across open fields that are periodically rested to maintain plant diversity and hoof health. Visitors often remark on the sheep’s calm nature, uniform conformation, and adaptability to varied climates. Blue Ridge Tunis invites inquiries about its husbandry approach, breeding goals, and ongoing efforts to preserve the unique qualities of Tunis sheep.
