Tim Stanley

Tim Stanley, Tunis sheep, Buskirk, NY, in Washington County and Hudson Valley near Albany, is committed to raising resilient flocks. He began breeding Tunis sheep over a decade ago, building on a family tradition of small-scale livestock stewardship. He is an active member of local shepherd groups, follows breed association guidelines for health testing, and keeps detailed pedigree records.

Lambing takes place outdoors each spring on well-drained pastures, and sheep learn early socialization through gentle handling from his small family team. The flock benefits from rotational grazing practices that support pasture health and animal well-being. Farm visits are welcome by appointment, helping new shepherds learn about pasture management and sheep care. His sheep produce wool that is prized for its fine fleece and consistency across shearings. Buyers appreciate his open communication about flock history and the balanced temperaments of his sheep.
