Kade Joseph

Kade Joseph, Tunis sheep, Wooster, OH, operates in Wayne County near Cleveland. With several years raising Tunis sheep, Joseph participates in regional breeding associations and his flock undergoes routine health screenings, including parasite testing and hoof inspections, to maintain strong genetics. Their sheep graze on rotational pastures managed for soil health, and daily handling helps produce lambs that are calm and accustomed to farm routines.

Breeding stock is selected for balanced bloodlines, strong maternal instincts and fine wool quality, a combination that supports both meat and fiber production. Housed on a family homestead, the flock benefits from low-stress handling and individualized attention during weaning and growth. They take pride in maintaining clear health records that local farmers appreciate, citing the lambs’ gentle temperament and sturdy build when integrating them into their own flocks. Commitment to sustainable grazing practices helps maintain pasture biodiversity. This approach not only supports animal health but also contributes to the local ecology.
