M4 Livestock

M4 Livestock is a Dorper sheep breeder in Springfield, Missouri, serving southwest Missouri near Kansas City. It has been breeding Dorper sheep for several years, following guidelines of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society and ensuring regular vaccinations, parasite screenings and scrapie education. The flock grazes on open pastures and is sheltered in climate-controlled barns, where lambs enjoy daily handling to foster calm temperament.

Macy Martin started the farm with a focus on sustainable practices, and ewes receive balanced feed to support healthy lamb growth. Rams undergo annual fertility testing and hoof-trimming schedules help maintain mobility across varied terrain. Visits from local youth groups offer a chance to observe lambing and learn basic sheep care without disrupting routines.

Martin also rotates pastures to maintain soil health and enrich natural forage for the sheep. This hands-on approach has resulted in a flock known for steady growth and reliable health year after year.
