Wooly Acres Farm

Wooly Acres Farm breeds Dorper sheep in Pavilion, NY, in Genesee County near Rochester. Tyler Schoonover and Alexandria Schoonover document all lineages and conduct routine health testing to ensure strong genetics and parasite resistance across the flock.

The flock grazes rotationally on lush pastures throughout the growing season and rests in well-ventilated barns with fresh bedding each night. Daily gentle handling allows lambs to develop calm temperaments suited for both hobby farmers and larger operations. They maintain regular hoof trimming, vaccinations, and shearing to support herd health and fiber quality, and they offer guidance on pasture management and sheep nutrition based on their own experiences with seasonal forage.

The Schoonover family integrates sustainable practices that focus on soil health, water conservation, and responsible land stewardship. Breeding selections aim to preserve the Dorper’s natural hardiness and adaptability to diverse climates. Several customers note the lambs’ robust growth and friendly nature, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on thoughtful care.
