Nylen Dorpers

Nylen Dorpers raises Dorper sheep in Elkhart, TX, in Anderson County and the East Texas region near Tyler. Dewayne Hudson has more than a decade of experience breeding Dorper sheep, maintains membership in national and regional sheep breeder associations, and follows comprehensive breed registry guidelines with routine genetic and health testing recorded in individual animal files.

The flock grazes year-round on rotational pastures nourished by seasonal rainfall patterns, while lambs receive early hands-on socialization and veterinary oversight to encourage a calm disposition and robust immunity. They evaluate breeding pairs based on strong maternal instincts, sturdy conformation, consistent early growth rates and adaptability to pasture conditions, refining bloodlines that thrive across local terrain.

Their breeding lines emphasize maternal longevity, ease of lambing and lean meat quality valued by small-scale farms and homesteads seeking sustainable livestock systems. Hudson coordinates with local extension agents to stay informed on best practices and shares insights with neighboring farms to support regional flock health.
