Matthew Maag and Jennifer Maag, Tunis sheep, Marion, Ohio, north central Ohio near Columbus. They have cared for Tunis sheep for over a decade, holding membership in the Livestock Conservancy and ensuring all breeding stock receives regular health screenings and parasite management under veterinary guidance.

Their flock grazes on rotating pasture with access to a sturdy barn for weather-protected shelter. Lambs join the family at an early age to support socialization and gentle handling. Wool from their sheep supports local craftspeople and small-scale fiber projects, reflecting a focus on sustainable, low-input grazing.

The farm property has been in the family since the 1960s, offering gently rolling pastures and century-old stone walls that encourage healthy growth. Local farm visitors often remark on the calm temperament and fleece consistency of the flock. Their approach balances genetic diversity with gentle handling to support both meat and wool fiber quality on each animal.
