Jim Schuelke

Jim Schuelke, Tunis sheep breeder in Stoughton, WI, is located in southern Wisconsin near Madison. He has been raising Tunis sheep for over 15 years, maintains membership in the National Tunis Sheep Registry, and follows recommended health screening protocols for parasite resistance and structural soundness.

His flock grazes on rotational paddocks and lambs are reared in a spacious barnyard, receiving daily handling to support gentle temperaments. A neighbor recently noted the sheep’s calm nature and resilience under changing weather.

The farm’s mix of native grasses and legume blends provides varied forage, while sturdy shelters offer protection from seasonal extremes. He also produces a small number of breeding stock each year, selecting for traits such as growth rate and fleece density. Veterinary partnerships and regular nutritional assessments help ensure the flock remains productive and free of common health issues. His careful record keeping supports genetic improvements over time.
