JDS Dorpers

JDS Dorpers is a Dorper sheep breeder in Alva, OK, in northwestern Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. It has participated in national sheep breeder associations and follows standardized health testing protocols with regular veterinary checks. Owner Jack Staats provides daily grazing routines on rotating pastures, supplemented with mineral-rich feed to support balanced nutrition year-round.

The flock rests in well-ventilated barns during winter and roams open fields in warmer months, benefiting from hands-on socialization that encourages even temperaments. The farm maintains consistent lambing schedules to align with spring grass growth, offering attentive postnatal care to lambs and ewes alike. Many lambs have found homes across small farms and homesteads, with keepers noting their friendly nature and resilience under varied climates.

Animal welfare guides every decision on the farm, reflected in spacious pasture designs and enriched bedding in lambing pens. Feedback from local agricultural fairs highlights the flock’s strong build and meat quality, reflecting JDS Dorpers’ long-term commitment to breed standards.
