KML

KML, Dorper sheep, Fort Scott, KS, Southeastern Kansas near Joplin. KML has been raising Dorper sheep for over a decade and follows guidelines from the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society, with routine hoof trims, vaccinations, and structured breeding records. Its flock grazes on mixed grass pastures with open-shelter barns and fresh water available year-round, and lambs are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments.

The farm’s lineage traces back to foundation stock imported for resilience and fast growth, and some ewes have earned recognition at local livestock shows. Health testing includes regular fecal screenings and nutritional evaluations, so lambs typically reach market readiness in under six months. Visitors note the sheep’s gentle nature and the farm’s laid-back atmosphere among rolling fields. Breeding pairs are selected for mothering instincts and adaptability to changing seasons. The farm operates from a historic homestead, blending traditional care with modern record keeping.
