Hamilton White Dorpers

Hamilton White Dorpers raises dorper sheep in Lebanon, VA, Russell County and Southwest Virginia near Bristol. Gary Hamilton has bred dorper sheep for more than a decade, holding membership in the American Dorper Sheep Association and following established health testing protocols. The flock grazes on pasture-based rotation, supporting natural hoof care and balanced nutrition while lambs receive daily socialization under shelter near the farmhouse.

The farm maintains a small flock size for individual attention, with all sheep handled gently and checked regularly by a veterinarian. The property’s rolling pastures and wooded borders create a calm setting that encourages strong maternal instincts and even temperaments. Buyers frequently mention the uniform fleece density and robust conformation that reflect careful selection and attentive husbandry. Lambs are naturally weaned at twelve weeks and raised for both breeding and fiber, meeting quality standards for meat and fleece markets. Gary often shares husbandry tips with visiting small-scale farms, reinforcing a community focus on responsible stewardship.
