Christopher Kepner

Christopher Kepner is a Tunis sheep breeder in Bloomsburg, PA, serving Columbia County and the Susquehanna Valley near Wilkes-Barre. He has bred Tunis sheep for over ten years, following breed registry guidelines and maintaining routine health screenings to ensure flock vigor.

He stays current on flock management through continuing education and local shepherd association meetings. Lambs are raised on rotational pasture with sheltered access and socialized from birth to support gentle handling habits. The farm’s simple shelter and windbreaks protect sheep through winter, reflecting a focus on sustainable husbandry.

His flock traces back to foundation stock selected for the breed’s hardiness and wool quality. Breeding ewes and rams graze mixed-grass fields near the barn, encouraging natural foraging and ease of care. Shearing takes place each spring on site, with attention to animal comfort and fiber quality, and positive early handling shapes lambs into calm adults.
