Our farm is located near the settlement of McNeal in the heart of Cochise County, Arizona. As the crow flies, we are about 20 miles east of Historic Tombstone. Our grassfed animals are raised on irrigated and native pastures. We believe that the best ruminant (ie. sheep, cows, goat) meat comes from animals that are eating what they we designed to eat...Grass and browse, NOT GRAIN! Our Dorper sheep were bred in South Africa to thrive under arid conditions...more arid than what we enjoy/endure in SE Arizona. They are usually born in the pasture and are very vigorous from the get-go. We harvest lambs between 90 and 115 pounds. We have found the Dorpers will put on too much fat at weights above 115.
