Windy Ridge Dorpers

Windy Ridge Dorpers raises Dorper sheep in Ellensburg, WA, in Kittitas County and the Central Washington region near Yakima. It adheres to standard health protocols with regular screenings and maintains detailed records of each lamb. Lambs are raised on open pasture and gently handled from an early age to support their well-being and ease of management. Owners often remark on the lambs’ calm temperaments and steady growth through seasonal changes.

Owner Hilda Rios balances rotational grazing with tailored feed supplements to support flock health year-round. The farm’s open-air shelters offer shade and protection during varying weather, and each animal has access to clean water and minerals. Dorper sheep are prized for their low-maintenance coats and lean meat, fitting well with small-scale sustainable farming practices. Each breeding ewe is chosen for maternal instincts and parasite resistance to maintain a resilient herd.
