Old Forest Dorpers

Old Forest Dorpers breeds Dorper sheep in Monroe, NC, in the Piedmont region and the greater Charlotte area. Loren Moore follows recognized breed standards, conducts regular health screenings for parasites and hoof care, and maintains thorough lineage records for each lamb. The flock grazes on rotational pasture with plenty of fresh water and draft-resistant shelters, and young sheep are handled daily to promote trust and gentle behavior.

With an emphasis on strong mothering instincts and uniform growth rates, Old Forest Dorpers supports both small-scale farms and homestead flocks seeking adaptable meat breeds. Situated on a multi-generational farm, the operation combines low-stress handling methods with seasonal breeding plans to strengthen flock health over time. Moore offers personalized guidance on nutrition, parasite prevention, and facility setup, helping new shepherds feel confident in flock management. Breeding schedules align with forage availability to ensure lambs thrive on natural diets, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices.
