Idehl Acres

Idehl Acres are breeders of Dorper sheep in Goshen, Indiana, Elkhart County and Northeast Indiana near South Bend. They have more than a decade of experience and participate in the National Sheep Improvement Program, ensuring regular health testing for parasite resistance and fertility traits. Their flock lives on pasture-based paddocks with daily handling routines that encourage calm temperaments and gentle behavior around visitors of all ages.

The farm follows sustainable grazing practices and rotates pastures to maintain soil quality and forage diversity. Some of their sheep have placed at state fairs, highlighting consistent breed standards and well-balanced conformation. Idehl Acres also offers seasonal fleece sales, with fibers valued by handspinners for their fine texture and uniformity. The family-run operation traces its roots to midwestern heritage farming, and the Dieners emphasize transparent communication about breeding goals and complete, detailed animal health records.
