406 Dorper Ranch

406 Dorper Ranch, Dorper sheep, Ronan, MT, Lake County and western Montana near Missoula. Greg Cotton is dedicated to breeding hardy Dorper sheep using registered stock and recommended health protocols. The flock benefits from rotational grazing on open pastures and daily handling to support gentle temperaments and resilience.

Animals reside in roomy shelters that provide year-round protection from wind and rain while allowing free movement and natural behaviors. Feeding plans emphasize forage with supplemental grains as needed to maintain optimal condition and support steady lamb growth. The ranch follows guidelines set by the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society for genetic selection and record keeping, and ranch operations include regular veterinary checkups and parasite control to ensure herd health. Community engagement is part of their philosophy, with local farm days and demonstrations that highlight the flock’s calm nature and consistent lambing results.
