Kilmer Farm

Kilmer Farm raises Dorper sheep in Spencer, TN, in Van Buren County and the Cumberland Plateau near Cookeville. Michael Kilmer has been involved with Dorper breeding for several years and follows health and genetic screening practices recommended by breed associations.

The flock grazes on mixed pastures and receives daily handling to promote gentle temperaments alongside routine veterinary care. Lambs are raised in family-friendly pastures, where socialization begins shortly after birth in a quiet farm setting. Kilmer Farm emphasizes sustainable pasture management and rotational grazing to support animal welfare and land stewardship.

Their stock often exhibits the hardiness and rapid growth rates valued by small-scale and homestead producers across the region. Customers note transparent health records and clear communication on breeding practices, reflecting the farm’s commitment to trust and quality. Set on a small-scale operation, the farm blends traditional husbandry with modern oversight to ensure consistent flock performance.
