Lee Sherfield

Lee Sherfield raises Tunis sheep in Fall Creek, WI, in the Chippewa Valley near Eau Claire. They have been breeding Tunis sheep for over a decade and maintain membership in the American Tunis Sheep Society to guide their breeding choices.

The flock lives in a pasture-based system, where sheep graze on native grass and receive ample shelter during harsh winters. Lambs are handled from birth to foster gentle temperaments and early socialization among curious young stock. All adult sheep receive regular health screenings, including fecal egg counts and hoof trimming, to support lifelong wellness.

The farm’s layout includes shaded loafing areas and a nearby creek, offering natural enrichment throughout the year. Lee and Jessica preserve the breed’s hardy characteristics by focusing on structural soundness and parasite resistance. Clients often note the sheep’s calm disposition and sturdy build for small-scale fiber and meat production.
