A and M Dorpers

A and M Dorpers are Dorper sheep breeders in Burnsville, NC, Yancey County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. They have been breeding Dorper sheep for more than a decade, follow Flock Book registry standards, belong to the Dorper Sheep Breeders Society and conduct routine health screenings including fecal egg counts and hoof trimming.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures, and lambs are raised alongside adult sheep to promote early socialization and resilience. Anthony and Melody manage the farm according to sustainable grazing practices and open barn policies, allowing visitors to observe daily chores and learn about sheep husbandry. Their breeding stock includes internationally recognized bloodlines noted for rapid growth and adaptability.

Lambs typically reach market weights quickly while maintaining lean muscle and good carcass conformation. Detailed performance records track weight gains and maternal traits, underscoring the farm’s commitment to transparency. Local farmers often commend the Kardulises for their straightforward care approach and consistent quality sheep.
