Penleys Dorpers

Penleys Dorpers, Dorper sheep, Loveland, Colorado, operates in Northern Colorado near Fort Collins. Established over a decade ago, Nancy Penley is a member of the American Dorper Association and the Colorado Sheep Breeders Association, and she adheres to all registry guidelines.

Each lamb is raised outdoors on rotational pasture to support natural grazing patterns, hoof health, and exposure to seasonal weather. The flock enjoys daily social interaction with family members, gentle handling from birth, and gradual weaning in small peer groups. Lambs from Penleys Dorpers are known for their hardy constitution and consistent lambing, and customers often note calm temperaments and quick growth rates.

All breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary exams, fecal parasite checks, and genetic health screens to maintain resilient bloodlines and reduce disease risk. Penley follows a pasture-based feeding plan supplemented with locally sourced hay, mineral blocks, and carefully selected grain during late gestation. The farm began as a small hobby flock in 2008 and has grown steadily through word-of-mouth referrals from neighboring ranchers and homesteaders.
