Loss Creek Farms

Loss Creek Farms is a Dorper sheep breeder in Leroy, KS, in Coffey County and the Flint Hills near Topeka. It maintains flock health through routine veterinary care, regular hoof trimming, and adherence to Dorper breed standards promoted by breed associations. A pasture-first regimen with rotational grazing on mixed grass fields provides balanced nutrition, supplemented with homegrown hay and mineral blends, while sheltered barn space offers lambs early resilience to seasonal temperature changes.

Breeding focuses on hardiness, muscle conformation, and strong maternal instincts, with detailed records guiding selection across successive flocks. Daily interaction on the farm helps sheep grow accustomed to human presence and reduces stress during shearing and transport. Visitors often comment on the flock’s calm temperament and sturdy build, a result of owner Tom Pavlak’s decades of hands-on experience and respectful approach to each stage of the flock’s life cycle.
