Harrington

Harrington is a Dorper sheep breeder in Postville, IA, Allamakee County and the Driftless Area near Decorah. Sam Harrington has been raising Dorper flocks for over ten years and maintains membership in national sheep registry programs with regular health testing.

The flock lives on rotationally grazed pastures with sheltered loafing barns and lambs are handled daily to promote calm temperaments. Emphasis on strong maternal instincts and consistent growth rates supports families and small-scale farms that value reliable breeding stock. Breeding records are meticulous, tracking performance traits to ensure uniformity and vigor in each generation.

Local veterinarians report positive feedback on flock health and longevity under this stewardship. A variety of bloodlines is available to meet different climate needs and production goals, and on-farm visits allow buyers a close look at flock behavior and breeding environments. The nutritional program includes trace mineral supplementation and pasture management to support optimal ewe health year-round.
