Johns

Johns raise Dorper sheep in Eagleville, TN, Rutherford County and the Nashville area. They have been working with this breed for several years and maintain registrations with recognized sheep associations, ensuring that their flock undergoes regular health screenings. Owners Charlie and Celeste Johns emphasize a hands-on approach, with each lamb socialized early to promote calm temperaments.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures that support both animal welfare and soil health, with shelters available during inclement weather. Gentle handling and attentive feeding practices help their sheep adapt to diverse farm environments. Many local producers note the consistent growth rates and ease of care characteristic of this breed. Ewes are evaluated annually for maternal qualities, ensuring strong lambing performance.

The farm maintains a small lambing barn where lambs receive close monitoring during their first days, reflecting a commitment to consistent, steady growth and sound breeding fundamentals.
