Hayes Pleasant Farm LLC

Hayes Pleasant Farm LLC raises Tunis sheep in Graysville, OH, in Gallia County and the Ohio Valley near Marietta. They have bred Tunis sheep for multiple seasons and are members of the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association, with annual routine health screenings managed by a local veterinarian.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures around the family farmstead, where lambs receive gentle handling and early socialization to promote calm temperaments. Barns are equipped with straw bedding and open-air shelters that allow free movement through natural light and fresh air. The farm maintains detailed breeding records to preserve the heritage traits of the breed and inform future mating decisions.

The farm’s wool is prized for its fine texture and natural color variations, reflecting careful selection for fleece quality. Pasture-based care and a focus on low-stress handling support robust flock health and friendly temperaments.
