Montelongo

Montelongo specializes in Dorper sheep breeding, based in Monett, MO, serving southwest Missouri near Springfield. Montelongo has extensive experience with Dorper sheep and follows recognized registry guidelines along with regular health testing for parasite resistance, conformation, and overall well-being. Animals live in small rotational pastures with access to clean barns, fresh water, and daily handling to build trust and reduce stress.

The flock is selected for robust frames and calm temperaments suited to fiber and meat production. Early handling and gradual introduction to mixed-age groups support confidence, social skills, and adaptability among lambs. Breeding records and lambing outcomes are tracked carefully to guide future pairings and improve flock health. Sustainable grazing methods help maintain pasture health and support the local ecosystem. The farm spans rolling pastures framed by native oaks, offering a calm environment for animals and visitors alike with quiet farm routines.
