Dry Branch

Dry Branch breeds Dorper sheep in Waynesboro, GA, Burke County and the Central Savannah River Area near Augusta. Megan Gillenwater has raised Dorper sheep for over a decade and holds membership in national livestock associations, with animals routinely tested for health and genetic conditions. Each flock grazes rotationally on pasture and receives regular handling to ensure calm temperaments, with lambing facilities designed for comfort and hygiene.

The farm’s gentle sheep have contributed to local fiber cooperatives and earned positive notes from neighboring farmers for their sturdy build and docile nature. Sustainable practices guide their operations, with manure regularly composted and fields reseeded to maintain soil health. Visitors often comment on the serene surroundings and knowledgeable stewardship reflected in every aspect of daily care. Lambs grow steadily on a diet supplemented with mineral-rich hay and whole grains, supporting strong bone development.
