Spring Valley Tunis

Spring Valley Tunis, Tunis sheep breeders in Fries, VA, in Grayson County and the Blue Ridge near Roanoke, maintains a small flock dedicated to breed standards and flock health. It holds membership in the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association and follows association guidelines with routine health screenings for parasites, lameness and breeding soundness. Lambs are born in well-ventilated barns, raised on rotational pasture grazing and given year-round mineral supplementation. Daily handling from weaning helps lambs adjust to seasonal changes and build positive responses to routine care.

The farm has been managed by Susan Skalak for over ten years, focusing on sustainable grazing that improves soil structure and biodiversity. Mature sheep graze mixed grasses and legumes and rest under open shelters designed to protect from sun and rain. Spring Valley Tunis follows a clear record-keeping system for breeding pairs, lineage and worm resistance data to help maintain flock vigor. Prospective flock owners have access to detailed nutritional plans and flock expansion strategies shared during scheduled visits.
