Steven Hogg

Steven Hogg is a Tunis sheep breeder in Clear Lake, MN, Sherburne County and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. He has worked with Tunis sheep for several years while adhering to breed standards and maintaining annual veterinary health screenings. His small family-run farm allows close monitoring of breeding pairs and uses predator-safe fencing to protect the flock.

Each lamb is examined individually by a local veterinarian and receives daily handling to encourage calm behavior. The flock grazes on managed pasture with rotational grazing to maintain soil fertility, and sheep shelter in well-ventilated barn stalls each night. Hogg follows guidelines from national sheep associations and keeps group sizes small to spot health concerns early.

Processed wool is shared with local fiber artists for hand spinning and dye work, highlighting the breed’s resilient fleece. Buyers often note the sheep’s consistent coloration, sturdy frame and gentle temperament, reflecting Hogg’s honest husbandry.
