Maybel Repscher

Maybel Repscher, Dorper sheep breeder, Taylorville, IL, central Illinois near Springfield. Repscher has been raising Dorper sheep on her family farm for over a decade, is an active member of the Dorper Sheep Society, and maintains health screenings for parasite resistance and foot health in partnership with a local veterinarian. Each lamb is registered and tracked for growth performance, reflecting her emphasis on clear pedigrees.

Her flock grazes rotationally on mixed pasture with shelter available year round, and lambs receive early handling to encourage friendly temperaments. With a focus on sustainable grazing and balanced nutrition, she provides detailed care routines for wool quality and meat standards. Feedback from homesteaders often highlights the sheep’s steady growth rates and calm nature. Visitors often appreciate seeing the flock roam open fields and learning about pasture management. Maybel combines time-honored husbandry with thoughtful innovation to support resilient, well-socialized animals.
