Shepard Farm Dorpers

Shepard Farm Dorpers is a Dorper sheep breeder in Stratford, OK, Southwestern Oklahoma near Wichita Falls. James Shepard has been breeding Dorper sheep for over fifteen years and is a member of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society, with routine health screenings including FAMACHA checks and parasite management to ensure flock well-being. The flock grazes on open pastures with access to shaded shelters, and lambs grow up accustomed to daily handling for calmer temperaments.

Flock records note top performance in weight gain trials and a consistently high lambing percentage. Shepard Farm Dorpers maintains detailed breeding logs to support genetic diversity and offers guidance on pasture management to new flock owners. The farm’s rolling hills and natural grasslands reflect years of thoughtful land stewardship.

Shelters are cleaned daily and sheep receive regular hoof trims while deworming schedules align with seasonal pasture changes. Each ewe is evaluated for maternal instincts and body condition to prioritize health and productivity in the herd.
