Brian Heil

Brian Heil and Kristin Heil raise Tunis sheep in Zanesville, Ohio, serving Muskingum County near Columbus. Their breeding program follows recommended practices and their flock is enrolled with a recognized national association, with regular health screenings to maintain strong genetics. Lambs are raised on lush pasture with rotational grazing and daily handling to promote calm temperaments and early socialization.

Their farmstead features spacious shelters that protect from harsh weather while allowing free movement, and animals are fed a balanced diet tailored to each stage of growth. Since opening their flock, they have focused on preserving the distinctive qualities of Tunis sheep and have received positive feedback for the gentle nature and hardiness of their stock. Their farm stands on a family-owned property that has hosted livestock for generations, blending traditional methods with practical innovations. Their ewe flock follows a spring lambing cycle, allowing for natural growth and consistent flock management year-round.
