Welcome to Unicorner Farm and
Our Flock of Tunis Sheep

Introducing the Tunis sheep
The first, and most
striking thing you will notice about Tunis sheep is the beautiful red
color set on an attractive sheep with long pendulous ears and a calm
disposition. Within this medium-sized package is found a very
productive sheep. Tunis are very feed efficient, requiring less feed than
larger breeds to produce marketable lambs at the same weights within
similar timeframes. |

The ewes are excellent mothers who have a high rate of
twinning, are heavy milkers, are productive for much of their long lives,
and are easily handled with very docile temperaments. The Tunis lambs
are vigorous at birth and are warmed by a double coat of red fibers. |

|
| We were drawn to the Tunis breed because of their
"threatened" status on the rare breeds list. They have now been
upgraded to "watch" and are making a dramatic comeback. These
are great sheep, easy to care for and a joy to have around the farm. |

Our Mission
We are excited about our expanding flock of registered Tunis sheep. We
aim to produce traditional style Tunis with rich, red coloring and good
temperaments.

Farm Profile
Unicorner Farm has been a producer of a small amount of quality miniature
horses each year since 1995. We added Tunis sheep in 2007 and are thoroughly
enjoying them.
We belong to the National Tunis Sheep Registry Inc.
and Debbi is the webmaster for the association's website.
We haven't been raising sheep very long but have wonderful mentors that
are leading us through this new, exciting adventure.
