Dry Creek Dorpers

Dry Creek Dorpers, Dorper sheep in Leesburg, Ohio, are located in southwestern Ohio near Cincinnati. They have been breeding Dorpers for more than ten years and hold membership in the North American Hair Sheep Association, along with consistent health screenings focused on parasite resistance and overall vitality. The flock moves through rotational pastures managed for diverse forage and returns to shelters outfitted with deep straw bedding and ample ventilation to support natural behaviors.

Their program, led by Jessica Jean Morgan, emphasizes early lamb socialization with both family and other livestock to foster a calm, adaptable temperament ideal for homesteads and small farms. Farm visitors often remark on the clean, organized pens and the sheep’s approachable demeanor during lambing season. Their bloodlines trace back to foundation stock imported from South Africa, reinforcing the breed’s reputation for hardiness and resilience. Sustainable grazing practices, detailed pedigree records and transparent health logs reflect a small-scale commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
