Spenst Ranch

Spenst Ranch raises Tunis sheep in Lander, WY, serving Fremont County and the Wind River Valley near Riverton.

They follow national breed association guidelines and perform regular health screenings for all breeding stock and lambs. Owner Alexandria Spenst oversees feeding, health checks, and pasture management year-round, ensuring consistency in flock care. Each lamb receives individual attention during nursing and is handled gently to build trust from an early age.

Their sheep graze on open pasture, rotating fields to maintain healthy, nutrient-rich forage and reduce parasite risk. Breeding stock is selected for structural soundness and fleece attributes valued by fiber artists. Spenst Ranch combines traditional farm values with a gentle approach to husbandry, reflecting a commitment to both animal welfare and predictable fleece quality. Their fleeces are well-regarded by handspinners for staple length and luster, and visitors are welcome by small-group appointment to see the flock in a low-stress environment.
