Norris Dorpers

Norris Dorpers is a Dorper sheep breeder in Winona, MO, in the Ozark Highlands near St. Louis. Gary Norris has been raising Dorpers on this family run farm for over ten years, holds membership in a national breed registry, and maintains routine health screening for all animals. Flocks graze on mixed pastures, with secure housing in winter and early handling of lambs to encourage calm temperaments. Pastures are supplemented with hay and mineral blocks, with feeding levels adjusted for different life stages.

Bloodlines are selected for meat quality and maternal instincts, with several sheep placing at county fairs. Visitors appreciate the gentle nature of the flock and consistency in conformation. Regular record keeping and open communication ensure each lamb is raised with attention to nutrition and welfare. Lambing season occurs on-site with clean bedding and close monitoring to support healthy growth from birth.
