Dave Joseph and Rachel Joseph are raising Tunis sheep in Wooster, Ohio, in Wayne County in northeastern Ohio near Cleveland. They have been working with Tunis sheep for several years and follow breed club guidelines along with recommended health-testing protocols. Their flock grazes seasonally on pasture with rotational grazing and receives daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. Lambs stay with their dams until weaning at twelve weeks, which supports steady growth and social development.

The farm is set on a restored century-old homestead bordered by mixed woodlands, lending a historic backdrop to modern stewardship. Neighbors often praise the lambs for their soft fleece and gentle nature, reflecting the farm’s commitment to thoughtful breeding practice. Their wool is prized by local fiber artists for its rich color and soft handle. They maintain detailed health records and share pasture management tips with fellow breeders.
