Turner Livestock

Turner Livestock, Dorper sheep, Dublin, TX, is based in Erath County and Central Texas near Fort Worth. It has been raising Dorper sheep for several years, holding memberships in the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society and conducting routine health screenings including fecal tests and hoof trimming. The flock has been developed from pedigreed lines selected for hardiness and strong mothering instincts.

Animals graze on rotational pastures supplemented with hay in winter, and they have access to barn shelters and fresh water at all times. Lambs are handled gently from birth to ensure calm temperaments and early socialization. Sustainable practices like composting manure, preserving native grasses and recycling water runoff support land health, and several sheep have earned blue ribbons at local county shows and regional fairs.

Neighbors often comment on the flock’s calm demeanor, which reflects the farm’s attentive handling. Agricultural extension agents have noted the thorough record keeping and traceability protocols in place.
