4M Dorpers

4M Dorpers raises Dorper sheep in Eddy, TX, in West Texas near Lubbock. They have been breeding this hardy, adaptable breed for several years, maintaining registration with recognized sheep associations and adhering to breed standards and guidelines. Flock members undergo routine health screenings, including vaccinations, parasite control and quarterly veterinary evaluations. Lambs are nurtured on pasture in spacious paddocks and receive careful early daily handling to support strong social bonds.

With rotational grazing on native grasslands, water conservation measures and secure shelters, the operation focuses on animal welfare and sustainable grazing. Selective breeding emphasizes hardiness, maternal instincts and gentle temperament, and uniform lambing intervals to support consistent flock performance. They keep detailed records of lineage and growth and supplement pasture forage with minerals to support coat quality. Aaron Maricle draws on lifelong experience from local sheep ranching to guide flock development.
