Narrow Gate Farm

Narrow Gate Farm breeds Dorper sheep in McMinnville, TN, serving Warren County and the Cumberland Plateau near Nashville. Dillon B Jones has been raising sheep with careful attention to breed standards and regular health testing, including scrapie screening.

Lambs are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage early socialization, and the flock moves through rotational grazing paddocks during the grazing season. Each breeding ewe undergoes a full veterinary examination before joining the flock, and records are maintained to track lineage and health outcomes.

The farm’s focus on land stewardship supports soil health and produces sheep known for their hardy build and calm temperament suited to homestead flocks. The farm’s pasture-based approach and attention to animal well-being have led to sheep that adapt well to varied climates and require minimal intervention under normal conditions. Prospective owners receive guidance on flock management and seasonal grazing strategies based on practical experience.
