The detail
Tunis are one of the oldest US breeds, descended from fat-tailed sheep sent from Tunisia in 1799. They have red-brown faces and legs, cream wool and red-coated lambs, handle heat well and can breed out of season.
What to weigh
Tunis are a heritage breed and less common, so registered stock may take time to find. They are moderate in growth compared with modern terminal breeds.
