Our Dorsets

Sugarloaf Dorsets: Where Breeders Shop for Seedstock!!

We invite you to visit with us anytime at the Farm to view our breeding program at work. We are proud of our sheep at home - and their pure Dorset heritage.

NO "cross-breeding" or hormones are used in our flock

Sugarloaf Dorsets have bred and sold numerous national champion breeding sheep, produced wether champions, carcass winners and National Ram Test Station winners.

We do not breed the "extreme" type Dorsets that look like race horses with wool on them! And, we don't brag about how many inches tall they are - our PRIORITY is in breeding Dorsets that have depth of rib, wide hip structures with big tops, sheep that carry a lot of natural thickness and when you take them home and watch them grow and produce, carry multiple lambs and milk like a Dorset should and when they turn 10 years old, you're still proud of how they look! Those are the kind we make here at Sugarloaf and will continue to make for our customers.

We most always have an excellent selection of Rams and Ewes available to purchase at the farm. 90% of our Sugarloaf sheep are selected by the buyer privately at the farm. See our news page for more details about individual wins!

We are so proud of Amy, she has sure made a lot of friends. We thank all the Dorset breeders for their support and compliments - she is the talk of the barn.

Dare to Dream" was the 1st Place runner up winner of the Prestigious 2001 "Sire Of The Year" award in Louisville Ky. ! This award judges him against all siring Dorset Rams in the country!! - with that much stiff competition - this is a significant honor!!

There are a lot of Dorset Rams out there siring sheep. When the top sheep that consistently win are sired by ONE ram - THAT ram receives the acclaimed "Sire of the Year" award.

"Dare to Dream" also tested RR for the CODON 171 Test.

"Dare to Dream" is the 1998 Reserve International Champion Ram - Louisville!

Also, the 1998 Grand Champion Ram of the North East Regional Dorset Show was awarded to "Dare to Dream"

His very FIRST lamb, "California Dream" to sell at a sale won the 1999 Junior Champion Ram and Reserve National Champion Ram title, AND was the highest selling ram of the National Sale. Sold to Jared Penfold of Kingsburg, California! He has been called by many top breeders and judges as "one of the most complete, correct, sound Dorset Rams with exemplary breed type that should be capitalized on in the breed."

He does indeed represent what the Sugarloaf Flock is well know for today - beautiful Dorset breed character; backed by good honest functional genetics.
