We added Tunis Sheep to our operation in 2015. We have sought out high quality individuals to build a breeding program off of. Each year we offer lambs off the farm and are regular consignors in the Ohio Showcase Sale and the Mid-West Stud Ram Sale.
Stud Rams
JET 2173 "Time Out"
|
Barnes Farms Genetics 4013 x Jet 1133
In the spring of 2021, Dan Erwin presented the option for us to purchase 'Game On' from the JET program. We had been impressed with game for a number of years and with the lambs he was produced; so we jumped at the opportunity. Well fast forward to the summer and a week after we got game home to Tennessee, Dan called to say we needed to make sure and get a BSE on game since his fall lambing ewes didn't settle. After failing the BSE we decided the best option to potentially get game back in breeding shape was to send him back to Ohio under Dan, Nikki, and Jacci's care. As a replacement for Game, we purchased "Time Out". Genetically and phenotypically, "Time Out" was as close as we could get to game, and fit the bill for what were looking for in our next stud ram. He is out of the 1133 ewe making him a 1/2 brother to 'Game On' and is sired by the 4013 buck. In the show ring he won his class at the 2021 Ohio State Fair and went on the be Champion Tunis Ram for us at the Tennessee State Fair, Appalachian Fair, and Delta Fair.

Tri-Star 1901 "Tennessee Whisky"
|
Schambow 495 x Jet 14021
1901 is our homegrown sire out of the most influential ewe in our barn, Jet 14021, and our Big Ten son, Schambow 495. We kept this buck back to replace his sire, and think he might just be better than his old man! He was Champion buck at our regional fair, Delta Fair, in Memphis, was a class winner at the Tennessee State Fair, and stood fourth as a lamb at the North American. We liked him as a lamb, but just like good whiskey, he's gotten better with age!
