Grant's Dorpers
Grant's Dorpers, Dorper sheep, Blaine, WA, in Whatcom County near Seattle, raises lambs with a focus on health and temperament. Grant Kortus follows the guidelines of the Dorper Sheep Society of North America and implements regular screening for parasite loads, foot rot, and overall flock health.
Ewes and lambs graze on perennial pasture to support natural foraging behavior and are handled daily from birth to encourage calm interaction. The flock’s gentle nature makes these sheep well suited to family farms, and their natural wool shedding reduces labor for shearing. Grant maintains a rotational grazing plan that promotes soil health and pasture recovery, reflecting a sustainability-minded approach.
Consistent record keeping of lineage and health outcomes helps in breeding decisions aimed at resilient stock across varied climates. Barn and shelters are cleaned regularly to ensure comfortable housing during wet seasons, and annual vaccination protocols are followed. Grant also participates in local agricultural events to share knowledge about sustainable sheep management with fellow producers.
