Joseph Garretson has cared for his flock for several years, adhering to breed registry standards and maintaining thorough health records. Their sheep graze on rotational pastures adjacent to the family farm, with nighttime shelter in a well-ventilated barn and routine parasite management.

Lambing season in spring brings fresh additions to the flock, with each lamb weighed and assessed against growth benchmarks.

The farm practices carbon-friendly grazing techniques, rotating flocks to preserve soil health and forage quality. Many customers comment on the gentle nature of the lambs and the clear communication around animal welfare. Three Cedars Dorpers balances traditional farmstead rhythms with attention to flock genetics, ensuring hardiness and reliability for varied small-scale operations.
