Lazy 5 Ranch

Lazy 5 Ranch breeds Dorper sheep in Mount Ulla, NC, in Stanly County and the Piedmont region near Charlotte. Joshua Wilson has more than a decade of hands-on experience, holds membership in the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society, and follows industry guidelines for health testing and genetic screening. The flock is managed on rotating pastures to ensure fresh forage and minimize parasite build-up, with lambs socialized alongside ewes from the first week of life.

Shelters are spacious and well-ventilated, and the sheep’s routine includes free-range grazing supplemented by locally sourced hay during winter months. Their approach emphasizes animal welfare and environmental stewardship, with sustainable grazing practices that promote soil health and local biodiversity. Customers often remark on the calm temperament, robust constitution, and consistent growth rates of the lambs they observe. Lazy 5 Ranch integrates family-style care with formal training in modern sheep husbandry techniques to ensure each animal thrives in a low-stress environment.
