Double Trouble Tunis

Double Trouble Tunis, Tunis sheep, Honeoye Falls, NY, is in the Finger Lakes region near Rochester. Owner Gregory Loper has been raising this heritage breed for several years following guidelines set by national sheep associations, with routine veterinary checkups and genetic screening.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures and has access to a spacious barn for shelter, with daily handling to support a gentle temperament. Its focus on the Tunis sheep’s dual-purpose qualities ensures the flock contributes both wool and meat to local farm needs, reflecting a balanced approach. Past buyers often note the sheep’s calm nature and sound build, making them well suited for small farms and homesteads.

Small herd sizes allow for individual attention as the sheep thrive in open pastures. During the spring lambing season, each newborn is closely monitored to ensure a healthy start, and ewes have access to nutrient-rich feed. Feed is sourced locally, supporting nearby suppliers and reinforcing the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices.
