Bichler Dorpers

Bichler Dorpers, Dorper sheep, Linton, ND, are based in south-central North Dakota near Bismarck. They have been working with Dorper sheep for several years and maintain flock registrations through national associations, ensuring accurate pedigree records and engaging in ongoing education about sustainable sheep management. Their focus on consistent health testing, clear vaccination protocols, and balanced nutritional management supports strong breeding stock with well-documented lineage.

The flock grazes on rotated pastures around the family farmstead, encouraging natural foraging and gentle handling by Doug and Maria Bichler. Lambs are raised alongside adults in open shelters, promoting early socialization and robust growth. Their attention to hoof care and parasite management, combined with seasonal soil testing on grazing fields, helps produce hardy sheep suited for a variety of operations.

The farm is recognized locally as a resource for small-scale producers exploring Dorper genetics and pasture-based lamb production. Regular participation in local livestock events helps them stay connected with the regional sheep community while exchanging insights on breeding trends.
