Edens Dorper

Edens Dorper is a Dorper sheep breeder in Springfield, TN in Middle Tennessee near Nashville. Elizabeth Benton follows breed association guidelines, conducts routine parasite and structural soundness evaluations, and maintains detailed health records for every animal.

The flock grazes rotationally on diverse pastures and retreats to a climate-controlled barn when temperatures rise or drop. Lambs receive daily handling from birth to encourage calm temperaments and confidence in new environments. Fresh water and mineral supplements are provided year-round to support steady growth and fleece development.

Benton draws on her background in animal science to inform feeding regimens, pasture management, and selective breeding strategies aimed at improving resilience and temperament. Clients often note the gentle nature of the sheep, the quality of the fleece, and consistent performance at local agricultural fairs. Detailed records on lineage, weights, and health metrics ensure traceability and support informed breeding decisions.
