Espada Farm Dorpers

Espada Farm Dorpers, Dorper sheep in Mooresville, NC in the Lake Norman area near Charlotte. Jason Espada has been raising Dorper sheep with attention to breed standards and health screening recommended by livestock associations, and he maintains detailed vaccination and parasite control records. Lambs are born on pasture each spring, receiving daily handling to foster calm behavior and resilience. The flock rotates through diverse forage, following a rotational grazing schedule that supports natural habits, soil health, and robust development.

The small-scale operation allows individual care for every ewe and lamb, and detailed records track parentage, growth, and overall well-being. A focus on mothering ability, fertility, and meat quality guides selection, reflecting a practical approach to sustainable husbandry. Prospective owners often note the flock’s steady temperament and adaptability across climates, reflecting the breed’s known hardiness and care. The farm’s approach stems from decades of regional shepherding practices, blending tradition with careful selection for resilient stock.
