Kalyn Swihart

Kalyn Swihart, Tunis sheep, Columbus, OH, is located in Central Ohio near Cleveland. With more than a decade of hands-on experience breeding Tunis sheep, she regularly participates in American Tunis Sheep Society health screenings, DNA parentage checks, and registry programs. The flock lives in shaded, pasture-based paddocks with daily handling by Kalyn and socialized lambs grow accustomed to family routines before weaning.

Careful attention to grazing rotation, forage diversity, and mineral supplementation helps keep the flock healthy through seasonal changes. Kalyn’s farm approach emphasizes preservation of Tunis heritage traits, gentle temperaments, and sustainable practices valued on smaller homesteads and fiber operations. Owners often note the sheep’s calm nature, sturdy build, and strong maternal instincts during lambing season. Each lamb receives scheduled veterinary checkups, nutritional monitoring, and close supervision from birth through early development. She holds memberships in regional woolgrowers associations and collaborates with nearby farms to share best practices for animal welfare and land stewardship.
