Louise Dunham

Louise Dunham, Tunis sheep, Urbana, OH, in Champaign County in central Ohio near Columbus. She has worked with Tunis sheep for several years, following guidelines from the national breed association and conducting regular health screenings. Her flock lives on rotated pasture to support natural foraging, receives daily handling to foster calm temperaments, and lambing season is conducted in sheltered barns under close observation. Louise raises her sheep in a family environment where lambs grow alongside children and other livestock.

This long-established farm emphasizes balanced nutrition and early socialization to produce hardy animals suited for a variety of small-scale farms and backyard flocks. A recent review noted the gentle nature of her lambs and the transparency of her breeding practices. Louise participates in local agricultural shows and shares her knowledge at community workshops and youth programs. Her focus on genetic diversity and gentle handling has earned her praise among neighboring farms.
