El Refugio Dorpers

El Refugio Dorpers, Dorper sheep in West Columbia, TX, operates in Brazoria County on the Gulf Coast near Houston. The farm has been breeding Dorper sheep for over a decade and is registered with the American Dorper Sheep Society, ensuring adherence to breed standards and routine health screenings. All breeding ewes and rams are routinely tested for fecal egg counts and receive visual health inspections before being introduced to the main flock.

Each lamb is raised on open pastures with rotational grazing and regular veterinary checks to support parasite resistance and overall vitality. Socializing lambs from an early age helps them adapt to farm life and eases stress during transition to new environments. Owner Lisandro Pena invites visits to the farm to share hands-on insights into sustainable sheep husbandry and well-maintained facilities. The farm takes part in local agricultural shows to track genetic progress and receive peer feedback on flock quality.
