Brush Creek Dorpers

Brush Creek Dorpers, dorper sheep, Columbus, IN, is located in the Midwest near Indianapolis. Erin Fischer has spent more than a decade refining her flock, with registrations through the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society and regular health screenings for parasites and foot health.

The sheep graze on rotational pasture seeded with native grasses, allowing natural foraging and promoting sustainable land use. Lambs born each spring are handled gently from birth and introduced to family life alongside children and household dogs. This emphasis on early socialization supports calmer shearing and easier veterinary checks.

Fischer draws on her farm’s multi-generational heritage, upholding a balanced approach between wool quality and meat productivity. The flock enjoys sheltered loafing areas and fresh water year-round, with mineral blocks provided to maintain optimal health. Feedback from local homesteaders often highlights the flock’s consistent health and steady growth rates.
