Hayley Pitts

Hayley Pitts, Tunis sheep breeder in Olney, Illinois, is part of Richland County and southeastern Illinois near Evansville. With over ten years of dedication to Tunis sheep, she prioritizes genetic health and keeps detailed breeding records. She is a member of the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association and conducts regular health assessments on every breeding animal.

Her flock grazes on rotational pastures year round under attentive supervision to promote strong bone development and wool quality. Young sheep are handled daily so they grow accustomed to people and develop calm temperaments. Raised on a family farm that dates back three generations, these Tunis sheep are praised for their adaptability and gentle disposition among small-scale farmers. Several lambs have been shown at local fairs, reflecting consistent care and selective breeding for conformation. Fiber producers often note the staple length and luster of their wool, making it well suited for hand spinning.
