Spicer's Dorpers & Barbados

Spicer's Dorpers & Barbados raises Barbados blackbelly sheep in Rock Island, TN, Warren County and the Cumberland Plateau near McMinnville. Coby Spicer has been breeding sheep for more than a decade, following national breed registry guidelines and performing regular comprehensive health screenings for parasite resistance, hoof care, and wool quality assessments.

Each flock grazes rotationally with access to a barn, and Coby emphasizes calm handling to foster socialized animals. The flock includes stock noted for strong maternal instincts and meat quality, and several animals have earned ribbons in regional agriculture shows. Habitat-friendly grazing practices support soil health and protect local waterways, reflecting the farm’s long history of sustainable livestock management. Prospective buyers often mention the flock’s hardy constitution and consistent growth rates. Coby collaborates with local agricultural extension agents to refine breeding plans, implement annual health protocols, and ensure herd resilience under varied seasonal conditions.
