Gottlieb Farm

Gottlieb Farm offers Dorper sheep in Chelsea, MI, Southeastern Michigan near Ann Arbor. Annika Heller has managed the flock for over eight years, working with the American Dorper Sheep Society, maintaining scrapie-free certification, and arranging regular veterinary screenings, hoof trimming, and parasite control. Their animals graze on open pastures adorned with shade trees and bordered by woodlands, and they have clean barns available during severe weather. Lambs are handled daily from birth to build confidence and ensure a calm temperament.

Gottlieb Farm emphasizes sustainable husbandry with rotational grazing that preserves native grasses, protects water sources, and promotes soil health. Each lamb receives an ear tag and is recorded for traceability with the breed society for future breeding. They supplement pasture grazing with mineral-rich feed and certified lamb pellets during colder months to maintain optimal health and steady growth. Visitors appreciate the farm’s calm atmosphere and note the lambs’ sturdy build and gentle nature.
