Tunis Sheep -A Breed Apart
The first, and most striking thing noticed about Tunis sheep is the beautiful red color set on an attractive sheep with long pendulous ears and a calm disposition. These sheep are quickly becoming favorites with everyone who tries this unique breed, from showmen to commercial farmers.
Our Mission
The National Tunis Sheep Registry, Inc. was established to guard and maintain the purity of Tunis sheep; to encourage the breeding of Tunis sheep; to maintain a register of pure-bred Tunis sheep; to issue certificates of registration and transfers; and to perform all other things requisite, necessary and to properly carry out the purposes and objectives of the organization.
