Sky's Tunis

Sky's Tunis, Tunis sheep in Turnbridge, VT, is located in Caledonia County and the Northeast Kingdom near St. Johnsbury. Its owners have cared for Tunis sheep for over a decade and hold memberships in local and regional livestock associations, ensuring each animal undergoes regular health screenings, parasite management, and genetic testing where appropriate.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures supplemented by mineral-rich feeds, and animals have access to well-ventilated barns and run-in shelters during Vermont’s colder months. Lambs remain with their mothers for natural bonding, and consistent human interaction from birth promotes calm temperaments and ease of handling as they mature.

Drawing on backgrounds in sustainable agriculture, Travis Kuykendall and Florentina Din emphasize low-stress handling, soil health, and fiber quality in their husbandry practices. Farm records document gentle wool crimp, strong carcass traits, and adaptability across seasons, qualities appreciated by homesteaders and small-scale producers in the region.
