Guy Artigues

Guy Artigues breeds Dorper sheep in Walterboro, SC, in Colleton County and the Lowcountry near Charleston. He has been raising Dorper sheep for over a decade and follows guidelines from the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Association to promote genetic diversity and overall flock health. Regular health testing for common conditions in the breed is part of his routine flock management.

Lambs are born on well-managed pasture and receive gentle handling from an early age, encouraging calm behavior and strong herd bonds. His approach emphasizes rotational grazing and minimal antibiotic intervention to support natural resilience. The Artigues family farm continues a tradition of small-scale livestock farming on land that has supported sheep for decades. Several lambs from the current flock have earned recognition at county fairs for conformation and fleece quality. Clients appreciate open communication, practical advice on nutrition, shelter, and seasonal care, and value the transparency around breeding decisions.
