Alexander Farms

Alexander Farms, Dorper sheep, Lincoln, IL, is located in Logan County near Springfield. The operation has been raising this hardy breed for over a decade with registration through the American Dorper Sheep Society and regular health screenings. All lambs are born on pasture and receive daily handling and early feed training to promote gentle temperaments.

Adults graze rotationally on mixed grasses and receive veterinary-supervised vaccinations and parasite control tailored to local conditions. Hazel Alexander follows sustainable husbandry practices passed down through her family’s rural heritage, focusing on genetic soundness and balance of meat quality with maternal traits. Their consistent record of parasite resistance and solid frame has earned positive feedback from local livestock veterinarians. Pedigrees trace back to foundation stock imported from South Africa, and all breeding rams undergo structural evaluations. Their hair coats shed seasonally, reducing shearing needs and supporting low-maintenance management.
