Braylen Evans

Braylen Evans breeds Dorper sheep in Rock Island, TN, in the Upper Cumberland region near Nashville. As a member of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society, he registers each lamb and conducts regular health screenings for parasites and foot care. Evans began focusing on Dorper genetics several years ago, sourcing stock from nationally recognized herds to strengthen conformation and maternal traits.

Lambs are raised on rotational pastures with daily handling and sheltered barns for seasonal protection. His small-scale operation ensures personalized attention to each animal’s growth milestones and rigorously maintains pasture rotation to prevent overgrazing. Evans emphasizes gentle socialization from birth, allowing the sheep to develop a calm temperament and strong immunity. The pasture-based approach supports natural foraging behaviors and soil health, reflecting a commitment to sustainable land stewardship. Local hobby farmers praise the uniform fleece quality and easy lambing rates, noting minimal interventions during kidding.
