Leigh A. Bacevich

Leigh A. Bacevich, Tunis sheep, Shaftsbury, VT, Bennington County and the Green Mountains near Bennington. She has raised Tunis sheep for several years and follows recommended health protocols, including routine fecal exams and annual vaccinations.

Her flock grazes on rotating pastures framed by high-tensile fencing to support natural foraging and hoof health. Lambs grow up in a timber-framed barn loft and spend afternoons with gentle handling to encourage calm interaction. Facilities include a dedicated lambing suite, portable shelters for springtime rains or winter storms, and insulated water troughs to ensure stock comfort through Vermont’s variable weather.

Leigh participates in regional breed gatherings to stay informed on animal care advances and breeding standards. Several offspring are known for their fleece density and fine staple length, earning interest from local fiber artists. Animals receive daily health checks and seasonal hoof trimming under the guidance of a local veterinarian.
