Hollidays Sheep Farm

Hollidays Sheep Farm, Dorper sheep in Laurens, SC, serves Upstate South Carolina and the Greenville area. The flock is registered through recognized breed programs, with routine health screenings for parasites and foot rot to maintain herd wellness. Animals graze on rotational pastures shaded by oak groves and receive daily hands-on attention from Sonnie Holliday, whose small-scale approach fosters calm temperaments.

Indoor lambing in a climate-controlled barn ensures newborns start life warm and dry under straw bedding. Each animal follows a grass-based diet that contributes to the Dorper’s lean, rich meat profile and hearty fleece. Visitors often note the gentle nature of the lambs and appreciate the farm’s commitment to sustainable grazing and thoughtful land stewardship. Local 4-H and FFA chapters have visited the farm to observe best practices in sheep management and pasture rotation. This family-run operation blends practical husbandry with respect for traditional methods to support both fiber quality and overall animal welfare.
