DC Dorpers

DC Dorpers is a breeder of Dorper sheep in Clarksville, TN, serving north central Tennessee near Nashville. In operation for more than a decade, it holds active membership in regional sheep breeding associations and follows a comprehensive health-testing schedule for parasite resistance and structural soundness. Flock life centers on pasture-based grazing and close daily interaction, with lambs introduced to handling routines from their first week.

The farm’s approach blends traditional heritage farming with ongoing trial of genetic lines selected for hardiness and mothering ability. Several rams have earned regionally recognized performance rankings, and feedback from local homesteaders notes consistent growth rates and calm temperaments. David A Chester views each ewe as part of a family unit and maintains small group sizes to ensure attentive care. Visitors and buyers often comment on the consistent conformation and the transparent communication about each animal’s background.
