Chuparrosas Farm

Chuparrosas Farm, Dorper sheep, Plano, Illinois, serves Kendall County and the Fox Valley near Aurora. Chuparrosas Farm has raised Dorper sheep for several seasons, focusing on conformation and maternal traits through registry programs.

It follows recommended health screenings with annual fecal tests and maintains registrations with the national Dorper sheep association. Lambs are raised on rotational pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong flock bonds. The farm’s pasture-based approach emphasizes sustainable grazing, native forage species and access to shelter year-round.

Many ewes trace back to foundation lines known for efficient growth and easy lambing, and several lambs have earned ribbons at local county fairs. All sheep benefit from year-round access to mineral blocks and routine hoof trimming, ensuring well-being through changing seasons. Lambing occurs in clean barns with individual pens for ewes and newborns, supporting close monitoring in the first days.
