Duke Bradley

Duke and Heather Bradley raise Dorper sheep in Monroeville, AL, in south Alabama near Mobile. They have been breeding this hardy meat sheep for several years, are members of the state sheep association and adhere to health testing and vaccination schedules recommended by local extension services.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures, undergoes routine parasite monitoring and barn shelter is provided during winter months to ensure comfort. Lambs receive regular gentle handling from birth to support calm temperaments and socialization. Their small family farm setting reflects a focus on animal welfare and sound husbandry.

They keep detailed records of lineage, birth weights, growth rates and health milestones to guide selective breeding. Visitors often comment on the calm nature of the flock and the well-maintained pastures. Meat from their flock is sought after at area farmers markets and family-owned butcher shops.
