LBD Dorpers

LBD Dorpers Welcome to LBD Dorpers! We began raising hair sheep nearly 20 years ago, but have transitioned our herd to strictly Dorpers over the past few years. Thanks!

Our herd of around 100 head is now made up of all fullblood sheep. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about what we have for sale or just want to talk sheep in general!

We have a good group of fullblood rams and a handful of ewes heading to the Kalona Sales Barn, Inc. breeder sale on November 25th. Mature ram is a Type 5 ram we purchased from Western States who has done an excellent job in our pasture setting. He is the sire of all the younger animals we will be bringing. Auction is available online and we will haul any purchases back to our farm free of charge if that works out better for you. Feel free to contact us with any questions. More video and information in the comments. Pedigree contains heavy import genetics from Australia.

Sale is in Kalona, IA. We are located in Medora, IL.

The lack of rain is turning the property into a desert, but the sheep are still going strong! We started using a rotational grazing system this year and have been extremely happy with the results. It has extended our pasture season and has really improved the condition/overall health of the herd! Looking forward to building with the genetics that standout in this type of environment!

Stud ram available. Type 5 at Western States Sale when sold. This ram has been a great piece to our program over the last couple of years. He maintains condition in a pasture setting and has vastly improved the standard of our lambs. As they say with any good ram, he should put himself out of a job! We currently have one of his sons covering ewes now, a handful of strong prospects coming up, and a fleet of his daughters who are starting to reach production age. We bred 30 more ewes to him for fall lambs, so it's time to let him help someone else. Feel free to message with questions. Paperwork in comments.

Exciting times around here! We haven't been able to attend any sales so far this year, but we've been busy expanding! We've been able to purchase another 10 acres that has been planted in preparation for fall grazing. One step closer to having the sheep on pasture year round!!

We'll be selling 10-15 of these ewe lambs at Kalona Sales Barn, Inc. on November 26th. All fullblood Dorpers that are from good genetics and are ran on a pasture environment. If minimum bids are placed, we will pay to register them, otherwise they'll be sold as commercial. Feel free to reach out with any questions. We will haul them back anywhere from Kalona, Iowa to our farm near STL.

We'll also be bringing a ram and 10 bred ewes.

Fullblood ewes available. We're looking to move another 20-30 head at this time. We have plenty so we can come up with about anything you're looking for to fit your operation. We have a large amount that are bred/exposed and a decent amount of open ewes that are getting close to breeding age. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks!

SOLD! Thank for you all the interest!!

Fullblood ewe lambs for sale. We're looking to move 10-20 at this time. They'll fall in the 5-7 month range and are thriving on a hay/pasture and mineral diet. We strive for sheep that are easy keepers and productive. These will come from some of our top rams from Whetstone Prairie, DK Dorpers, and HC6. We also have a number of breeding age ewes we would let go of at this time. Feel free to contact us with how many you are looking for or if you have any questions.

The main shepherd at LBD checking fence and scoping out the ewe lambs. Pretty excited for this group coming up!

04/30/2024

We've been busy moving sheep to the pastures for the year and finally got some more fence to start at a new property. This is our first round of ewe lambs heading to that spot with more on the way! 6 months old with a hay/pasture diet and mineral for months now. We pull breeder animals, especially ewes, off grain completely at around 3 months.

04/06/2024

We have a few animals that look a little different from the rest of the herd! These Nubians are currently available. There are 7 animals in total. 3 billies, 3 nannies, and 1 kid. Shoot us a message if you have any questions.

03/04/2024

Time of year to start moving sheep! We are going to start by offering up ram lambs. Some of these are no doubt potential studs. We can send more video or pictures of individuals if looking for a potential breeder. This video is of all the weaned lambs to this point. More to choose from are added weekly. All are fullblood Dorper and can be registered. Feel free to reach out with more questions.
