James Noto

James Noto and Sarah Noto raise Tunis sheep in Dunkirk, MD, Calvert County and the Chesapeake Bay region near Annapolis. They have been breeding for several years and adhere to breed association guidelines for health testing and genetic soundness.

Their flock grazes on well-managed pasture with rotational practices to optimize forage, and lambs are socialized alongside family activities from an early age. Mineral supplements and routine veterinarian evaluations support flock health. Housing is designed for comfort and airflow, with daily checks to maintain welfare and shearing twice a year to promote healthy fleece growth.

They emphasize the breed’s fine fleece and gentle temperament, qualities appreciated by fiber producers and homesteaders alike. They follow breed standards for conformation and maintain pedigree records to preserve Tunis lineage. Their lambs are often praised for sturdy build and easy care, traits that suit small-scale operations and educational farms.
