Limpy Chick Farms

Limpy Chick Farms, Dorper sheep, in Aumsville, OR, is located in Marion County and the Willamette Valley near Salem.

It has been breeding this hardy, adaptable meat breed for over a decade with registrations through national sheep associations and a commitment to routine health testing. Alison Wood ensures every flock member lives in spacious pastures with regular hoof trimming, parasite control, and turnouts that strengthen their instincts and sociability. Lambs are exposed to varied grazing rotations and daily handling to foster calm temperaments and resilience.

The farm’s rolling fields, established on a family homestead since the 1970s, reflect a dedication to pasture-based practices that support soil health and animal welfare. Feedback from local butchers and neighboring farmers notes consistent conformation and balanced growth in the Dorper flock. While Alison Wood welcomes questions about breeding goals and offers occasional farm visits to share best practices, appointments are arranged individually to maintain minimal stress for the sheep.
