Utah Dorpers

Utah Dorpers, Dorper sheep in Fairview, Utah, raises healthy flocks in Sanpete County near Provo. Richard Daybell has nurtured this hardy sheep flock for several years and follows recommended health testing protocols to support its welfare. It selects breeding stock for strong maternal instincts and well-muscled lambs suitable for varied markets.

The flock grazes on open pastures with rotational grazing practices and daily observation of each animal’s health. Lambs receive early handling to foster calm temperaments and gentle socialization. At an elevation above 5,700 feet, these sheep develop resilience to summer heat and winter chill, making them a fitting choice for diverse operations. Feed includes a balanced mix of forage and minerals tailored to each growth stage, ensuring consistent development across the flock. The farm sits on gentle slopes that enhance natural drainage and support varied grasses. Low-stress handling techniques during shearing and transport help maintain calm behavior and overall wellbeing.
