Shirewood Farm

Shirewood Farm, Dorper sheep, Hays, North Carolina, is in Caldwell County and western North Carolina near Asheville. Hannah Barker has bred Dorper sheep for over a decade on site and follows established health protocols, including routine screenings for common diseases, vaccinations, and regular hoof care.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures and shelters in open-air barns, with lambs receiving daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. Their pasture-based system emphasizes seasonal forage diversity and sustainable practices, supporting both animal welfare and land health. Clean, well-maintained barns and a small flock size allow Barker to tailor nutrition plans for each sheep, ensuring steady growth and robust coats. Local buyers often note consistent carcass conformation and friendly dispositions in lambs and adult sheep. Barker also shares her experience through regional farm tours and 4-H workshops, reflecting her commitment to community education.
