L and R Sheep

L and R Sheep, Dorper sheep, Ripley, OH, Adams County and the Ohio River Valley near Cincinnati. Luke and Ruthann Coblentz manage a family flock on gently rolling pastures, following American Dorper Sheep Society guidelines and routine health screenings with a local veterinarian. Their sheep are raised on pasture to ensure natural foraging and uninterrupted social bonds.

Over the past several years they have refined breeding lines for hardiness and strong mothering instincts, traits valued by family farms and hobby flocks. Shelter is provided in well-ventilated barns and three-sided loafing sheds to protect against seasonal extremes. The flock grazes on rotated pastures, which supports soil health and diverse forage intake.

Reviews note the Coblentz family’s transparency and helpful advice for first-time sheep keepers. Their experience lends itself to producing robust lambs and breeding stock suited for small farms and homesteads.
