Lively Dorpers

Lively Dorpers, raising Dorper sheep in Freedom, OK, tend their flock across northwest Oklahoma near Amarillo. It builds on years of breeding Dorper sheep under breed association guidelines and conducts routine veterinary health checks, genetic screening for parasite resistance, and hoof care to ensure soundness and longevity. Animals graze rotationally on diverse native grass species, enjoy secure fencing and sheltered loafing areas, and receive daily gentle handling to foster calm, confident lambs.

With a foundation in sustainable farm management, Tasha Lively emphasizes balanced nutrition, pasture health, and environmental stewardship at every stage of lamb growth. Lambs are weaned carefully, introduced gradually to varied pasture conditions and supplemental feeds, and socialized through regular interaction to encourage resilience and friendly dispositions. This year’s lambs reflect meticulous selection for robust conformation, strong maternal instincts, and a temperament suited to both meat production and small-scale homestead life. Feedback from local farmers highlights their easy-care nature and consistent weight gains.
