J and R Flock

J and R Flock raise Dorper sheep in Reedley, CA, in Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley near Fresno. The flock has been managed by Richard Lujan and follows standard registry guidelines with routine health screenings for common sheep ailments.

Lambs are raised on pasture with ample shelter and daily human interaction to support early socialization. Their breeding philosophy centers on maintaining the breed’s hardiness and meat quality while preserving strong maternal traits. A long family history on their small farm in the Central Valley informs hands-on care at every stage of development.

Breeding stock undergoes regular hoof trimming and nutritional assessments to ensure long-term flock health. Their lambs are often noted for steady growth rates and balanced temperaments, making them suitable for both backyard producers and small-scale meat operations. Routine nutritional evaluations ensure each sheep receives balanced forage and supplementary feed as needed, supporting overall vigor.
