Holly Pasture

Holly Pasture breeds Dorper sheep in Toledo, WA, and Lewis County and southwestern Washington near Olympia. The farm has welcomed sheep for over a decade and maintains regular health testing, parasite management, nutrition assessments and hoof care protocols recommended by leading sheep associations. It is a registered member of the American Dorper Breeders Society and participates in regional livestock shows.

Breeding decisions focus on maternal traits, growth performance, adaptability and reproductive efficiency in local conditions. Lambs are born outdoors in a pasture-based setting with access to shelter, fresh water, mineral-rich forage and hands-on socialization. Their flock features bloodlines noted for consistent growth, hardiness and gentle temperament. Visitors appreciate guided farm tours and the transparent approach to sustainable sheep farming practices.

Pastures are rotated seasonally to promote diverse forage, build soil health and ensure the flock moves to fresh, lush grass regularly.
