​In 2011 we bought 63 white dorper sheep from Turn Bull Farm, New Ashbury Farm, Circle R Farming, and Locust Creek Dorpers.
  • ​The current flock of; 70 ewes, consists of all fullblood ewes.
​We selected the white dorper breed for muscling, heartiness, forage utilization, excellent meat qualities and good mothering instinct.

​Currently using fullblood rams from Red Raven Farm, Weaver Sheep with Circle R Farming, Hamilton Sheep Station,  HiJo Dorpers with RiverWood Farms, Highveld, Kaya, Karoo, Yucca Lily and Godown Genetics.

Feed:


  • All animals of the flock have access to open pasture and grass hay grown and baled on the farm.
  • Pasture fields are rotated to best utilize grass growth and help control parasites. Sheep are dewormed on an as needed basis using the FAMACHA system.
  • Nursing ewes are supplemented with whole barley. Replacement stock are supplemented with whole barley until placed in the flock for service.  Lambs are creep fed on coarse ground barley, corn and alfalfa pellet once weaned, they are given grass hay and grain with no added hormones or antibiotics.
  • All animals have free choice on a mineral mix from Pipestone Veterinary Supply.

Lambing: 


  • Pregnant ewes are relocated to the small pasture closest to the farmhouse to be carefully monitored day and night. Once they have lambed, they are then moved into individual pens in the barn to ensure maternal bonding and a healthy start.
  • We lamb 3 times a year, January, May, and September, giving us lambs year-round.
