Iron Ridge Dorpers

Iron Ridge Dorpers is a Dorper sheep breeder in Billings, Missouri, in the Ozarks near Springfield.

It participates in national registries, tracks growth and structural soundness, and follows recommended screenings for cloven hoof conditions and fecal parasite monitoring. Lambs spend spring through autumn on mixed grass pastures with overhead shade and windbreaks, and each greets daily handling sessions to support calm temperaments and easy integration into new flocks. The flock rotates across varied grass stands to boost soil health, enhance forage diversity, and carry on responsible grazing practices that date back generations on these rolling hills.

Owner Jarrah Strobach applies a family farm tradition to refine rotational grazing techniques, fine-tune forage selections, and offer stewardship focused on long-term land care. Local buyers note consistent lamb quality, clear breeder communication, and robust flock health across seasons. Their approach aims to produce Dorper lambs suited to both small-scale farms and homesteads.
