Old Pecan Grove

Old Pecan Grove, Dorper sheep in Bonham, TX, is based in Grayson County and the North Texas region near Dallas. It is a member of national sheep breeding associations and follows recommended health testing protocols.

The flock grazes on rotating pastures with access to shade and shelter, and lambs are gently socialized from an early age to support calm temperaments. All ewes receive routine parasite screenings and hoof care to maintain overall flock health. Dorper sheep are known for low-maintenance coats that shed naturally and for efficient weight gain on forage. Shelli Mcelroy’s hands-on care ensures each animal receives personal attention, and the farm’s focus on pasture-based grazing supports sustainable land stewardship. The operation blends time-honored sheep husbandry with modern welfare standards. These combined practices have helped Old Pecan Grove maintain a small but robust herd known for consistent wool quality and adaptable genetics.
