Ferm Family Farms

Ferm Family Farms, Tunis sheep, Independence, KS, in southeast Kansas near Wichita, are a family-run heritage farm focused on the stewardship of Tunis sheep. They have been breeding Tunis sheep for several years and maintain registered stock with a national breed association to ensure genetic soundness and clear health records. The flock grazes on native grasses to encourage natural foraging behavior and optimal wool development. Lambs are reared in pasture-based paddocks with daily handling to support early socialization and resilience.

Their approach draws on hands-on experience passed down through generations on the family homestead. Thorough routine veterinary checkups and rotational grazing keep the flock robust, while breeding selections aim to preserve the breed’s hardy nature and fine wool quality. Customers note the calm demeanor of the sheep and the thorough health documentation, reflecting a steady commitment to transparent, responsible breeding.
