Petersen

Petersen Dorper sheep in San Saba, TX, San Saba County and the Texas Hill Country near Austin. Petersen has several years of experience breeding healthy Dorper sheep, participating in national sheep associations and following recommended health-screening protocols. Breeding selections prioritize structural soundness and resilience to local climate challenges.

Its flock grazes on open pastures with access to well-ventilated barns, and each lamb receives early social handling to promote a calm temperament. Detailed birth records and growth monitoring are maintained meticulously to support overall flock well-being and inform selective breeding decisions throughout each season. Several of its sheep have earned ribbons at local agricultural fairs over the past few years. Rotational grazing and pasture management are key to maintaining soil health and forage diversity on the property. Petersen’s approach emphasizes gentle management and sound flock health, reflecting a farm tradition rooted in careful husbandry and community engagement.
