Los Arenales Dorpers

Los Arenales Dorpers is a breeder of Dorper sheep in Pembroke Township, Illinois, in Kankakee County near Chicago. They maintain regular health screenings for all breeding stock, implement routine parasite control and follow recommended guidelines from recognized breed registry programs. The operation has been active for multiple lambing seasons under Julian Alvardo's care, with a focus on steady improvement of flock quality.

The flock grazes on rotational pasture across gently rolling fields, and lambs receive daily handling to promote calm, gentle temperaments. Shelter consists of well-ventilated barns with secure fencing, clean bedding and constant access to fresh water. Breeding decisions are guided by conformation standards and aim to balance hardiness with docile dispositions suited to the local climate.

Several rams have placed in county fairs, earning recognition for muscle structure and fleece quality. Clients highlight the consistent growth rates, easy maintenance and the approachable temperament of each lamb.
