Leah Petersen

Leah Petersen is a Tunis sheep breeder in Oakdale, CT, New London County and the Connecticut shoreline near New London. She has been raising Tunis sheep for more than a decade and follows breed standards recognized by national associations. Her flock is regularly screened for common health conditions, and she provides pasture-based grazing and daily hands-on care. She participates in routine health testing and follows established breeding guidelines to support flock well-being.

Lambs are born in a climate-controlled barn, introduced to family life early, and tend to develop calm temperaments appreciated by visiting shepherds. The flock is rotated through lush pastures each season to ensure fresh forage and keep parasite levels low. Petersen’s operation emphasizes sustainable farmstead values and hosts local youth programs where children learn responsible livestock care. Potential buyers easily appreciate the clear health records provided with each lamb and the direct communication about breeding histories.
