Nicholas has been breeding Dorper sheep for more than a decade and maintains memberships in state and regional breeders associations with regular health screenings. The flock breeds on rotational pastureland, and lambs spend their earliest weeks in sheltered pens before joining the main herd.

Customers note consistently healthy lambs, robust fleece quality, and clear communication about care routines. Past generations of the farm have helped shape local land stewardship and demonstrate a practical approach to sustainable sheep farming.

Genetic evaluations and footrot screenings are part of the breeder’s routine to maintain flock health. Visitors find a friendly atmosphere where care routines and pasture rotation plans are shared openly with fellow breeders.
