Duke

Duke is a Dorper sheep breeder in Clifton, TX, in Bosque County and central Texas near Waco. It follows guidelines from national sheep breeding organizations and conducts regular health screenings, including parasite checks and hoof inspections to maintain flock wellness.

The sheep are raised on open pasture with shade, socialized daily to ensure calm temperament and adapted to local weather patterns. Duke’s farm emphasizes sustainable grazing rotations and natural grazing methods that support soil health while fostering robust growth in each lamb. Flock size remains small to allow personalized attention and early identification of vibrant, well-developed lambs suited for breeding or meat production.

During lambing season, each ewe receives individual care to ensure healthy birth weights and early social bonding. The breeding philosophy centers on hardiness and feed efficiency, reflecting traits characteristic of the Dorper sheep. Many lambs find homes with family farmers and homesteaders throughout the region.
