Mark Swihart

Mark Swihart and Kristen Swihart are Tunis sheep breeders in Greenville, OH, Darke County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. They have over fifteen years of experience and maintain membership in the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association, following recommended health screening protocols for sustainable breeding. The flock of around twenty animals grazes on rotational pastures framed by native grasses, and lambs are raised with daily handling to support gentle temperaments.

Their farm on Bishop Road includes sheltered sheds for winter comfort and a focus on balanced, organic-inspired nutrition that highlights the breed’s fine fleece and flavorful meat. They offer farm tours by appointment, helping visitors understand sustainable grazing practices and sheep care routines. They regularly exhibit at local fairs and have received positive feedback for consistent lamb size, sound structure and easygoing behavior. Prospective buyers appreciate the clear lineage records, responsive communication and the breeders’ ongoing educational support for new owners.
