Boulder Creek Tunis

Boulder Creek Tunis Tunis sheep breeders are in Penobscot, ME, in Downeast Maine near Bangor. Troy and Toni Staples have been managing their flock for over a decade, participating in the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association and conducting annual health testing to ensure sound genetics.

Their sheep graze on rotationally managed pasture, and lambs are handled daily to foster calm temperaments and easy handling. Breeding stock comes from lines noted for wool quality and gentle disposition, with several animals holding regional show ribbons.

Visitors describe the farm as welcoming and transparent, with clear protocols for biosecurity and generous insight into sheep husbandry. They maintain sustainable practices by rotating pastures to preserve soil health and minimize external inputs. The Staples family farm spans over fifty acres of mixed woodlands and grassland, offering shelter and shade year-round. Their breeding program emphasizes adaptability to cold climates and consistent fleece density, reflecting careful selection over multiple generations.
