Tavin Pennock

Tavin Pennock breeds Tunis sheep in Beacon, NY and serves the Hudson Valley near New York City. Tavin has been raising Tunis sheep for over a decade, adhering to breed standards and conducting regular health screenings for parasites and hoof balance. On the rolling pasture behind the Willow Street property, the flock grazes under rotational management and benefits from daily socialization that begins at weaning. Each breeding season is planned with lineage records to preserve hardiness and wool quality, while shelters are maintained with fresh bedding and proper ventilation.

As a small family run operation, Tavin welcomes conversations with fellow breeders at farmstead gatherings and contributes insights on heritage breeds. Balanced nutrition of mixed grasses, legumes, and supplemental grains supports steady growth and seasonal wool development in each animal. Attention to landscape stewardship means the flock also plays a role in reducing invasive species and enriching pasture health.
