Panther Creek Dorpers

Panther Creek Dorpers is a breeder of Dorper sheep in Fordland, MO, serving Webster County and the Ozark region near Springfield. The operation follows standard breed association guidelines and arranges routine health screenings to ensure flock quality and longevity.

Detailed records track lineage, health checks and performance to support informed breeding decisions.

All lambs are raised on pasture with access to shelter and introduced to gentle handling from an early age to support social and physical development. Millie Ballard applies a hands-on approach developed over years of small-scale farming, focusing on pasture rotation, daily enrichment routines and animal welfare. Weaned lambs transition smoothly into the herd while maintaining strong social bonds. Their approach aims to balance meat quality with sustainable pasture management for long-term flock health.
