Dutchayr Farm

Dutchayr Farm raises Tunis sheep in Otego, NY, Otsego County and the Southern Tier near Binghamton. It is a member of the American Tunis Sheep Society and follows recommended health screening protocols, including regular fecal parasite checks and routine hoof trimming for flock wellness. Lambs are reared on lush pastures with daily gentle handling to promote calm temperaments, and adult sheep graze rotationally across three fenced fields. Tunis sheep are appreciated for their hardiness, efficient foraging habits and adaptability to varied climates.

In winter, the flock moves into open-sided barns with straw bedding and free-choice mineral supplements. The farm has been family-operated by Wendy English since its establishment, preserving traditional sheep farming methods alongside practical improvements. Reviewers often mention the sheep’s friendly nature and consistent wool quality. The dense fleece from this flock is prized by local spinners for its fine texture and warm natural hues.
