Ian Wuscher, Tunis sheep, Marshall, NC, serves Western North Carolina and Asheville. He has been raising Tunis sheep for eight years on his family farm, adhering to national registry standards and regular health screenings to ensure flock vitality. He is a member of the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association and participates in regional fairs to share best practices and breeding insights.

The flock grazes on seasonal rotational pastures bordered by wooded hillsides, allowing lambs to grow under careful supervision from birth to weaning. Their lambs are known for calm temperaments, friendly nature, and strong mothering instincts.

Generations of careful selection support consistent fleece quality, prized by local artisans for spinning and weaving. Visitors often comment on the farm’s serene setting and how calmly the young sheep approach during scheduled educational visits and small group tours. He offers ongoing support to new shepherds, guiding them in nutrition, low-stress handling methods, and sustainable flock management year-round.
