Ennen Dorpers

Ennen Dorpers, Dorper sheep in Tuttle, Oklahoma, are part of Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma City area. Bryan and Patty Ennen have been raising Dorper sheep for more than ten years and participate in health screenings recommended by the National Dorper Sheep Breeders Society.

Their flock is managed on open pastures with regular access to shelter and fresh water, and lambs are socialized from an early age to develop steady temperaments. Rotational grazing and sturdy fencing protect pasture health and support consistent forage growth. Each breeding ram and ewe undergoes hoof trimming and parasite control according to a seasonal schedule.

Yearly soil tests guide their pasture management and contribute to sustainable practice. The farm’s focus on gentle handling has earned praise for producing sheep that adapt well to smallholder and homestead settings. Veterinarian records and regular wellness checks help maintain a transparent health history across generations.
