Leatherwood Creek

Leatherwood Creek, a Tunis sheep breeder in Pulaski, Tennessee, serves Giles County and the Nashville area. It has been raising Tunis sheep for more than a decade and follows national breed association guidelines with regular health testing, including CD&T and parasite screenings. The flock grazes on rotational pastures seeded with native grasses and is housed in weather-resistant barns, where daily handling by staff encourages calm temperaments.

The farm balances traditional hill country practices with selective breeding aimed at producing hardy, adaptable sheep suited to small-scale operations in variable climates. Prospective fiber producers often appreciate the fine, buttery wool and easy lambing traits characteristic of this breed, which matures quickly under attentive care. Careful record-keeping and onsite biosecurity measures, such as quarantine protocols for new arrivals, reflect a steady commitment to flock well-being on the farm. Owner Kim Auerbach applies principles of sustainable agriculture to pasture rotation, soil health, and gentle lamb rearing practices. Local enthusiasts praise the herd’s gentle nature, consistent health, and the quality of lambs that thrive in Tennessee’s changing seasons.
