Wild Violet Dorpers

Wild Violet Dorpers, dorper sheep breeders in Olympia, WA, raises healthy flocks in the Puget Sound region near Seattle. Rebecca Turner has more than fifteen years of experience in sheep husbandry and holds active membership in national and state sheep associations, with annual health screenings that include scrapie genotyping and routine vaccinations.

Lambing and weaning happen in sheltered paddocks where gentle handling, daily grooming and group pasture time help lambs build trust in people and peers. Rotational grazing across fenced fields supports soil vitality and plant diversity, and the flock’s diet is supplemented with locally milled grains during colder months. Visitors often comment on the farm’s calm atmosphere and the sheep’s docile temperaments during tours that reflect a focus on low-stress care.

The flock’s wool is prized for its natural luster and spinnability, and some lambs have been featured at county fairs for consistent fleece quality and gentle disposition. Sustainable practices and personal care for each animal aim to maintain flock health and support balanced farm ecosystems year round.
