Iron Horse Farms
Iron Horse Farms, Dorper sheep, Lathrop, MO, operates in northwest Missouri near Kansas City. It follows established breed association guidelines for health testing, maintains detailed records for each animal and consults with local extension agents on flock health.
Its flock grazes on rotation-managed pastures dotted with native grasses, and sheep retire to sheltered barns where lambs receive daily handling to ensure calm dispositions and early socialization. The farm emphasizes sustainable pasture management, using low-impact fencing, cover crops for soil health and integrated pest control through mixed-species grazing.
A multi-generational farm heritage guides its careful selection, focusing on structural soundness and consistent lambing performance in varied weather. It draws on local research networks to refine feeding plans, balancing traditional hay with nutrient analysis to maintain optimal body condition. Visitors and buyers often note the flock’s even temper and uniform weight gains under Iron Horse Farms’ attentive stewardship.
