Northwood Homestead

Northwood Homestead is a Tunis sheep breeder in Mainesburg, PA, in the Northern Tier region near Williamsport. The flock undergoes routine health screenings and parasite management protocols recommended for Tunis sheep, and stock are registered through recognized breed registry programs. Nancy Miller raises the animals on well-managed pasture with emphasis on gentle handling from birth to ensure steady socialization and ease of care. All sheep have access to shelter that supports natural behaviors, and Miller maintains detailed records on lineage and fleece performance to guide breeding decisions.

Lambs enjoy rotational grazing across mixed grasses and access to barn space with proper ventilation during lambing season. Mineral supplementation and balanced forage form the basis of a nutrition plan tailored to each age group. Northwood Homestead has supplied breeding stock to small farms and fiber artists, who often comment on the sheep’s calm temperament and consistent fleece density. The farm operates on principles of animal welfare and environmental stewardship, maintaining a clean, low-stress setting for all stages of life.
