Afton Hills Farms
“Production Oriented, Quality Assured”
Welcome to Afton Hills Farm. On our farm, we are committed to raising high quality Fullblood Dorper sheep. With over 15 years with Dorpers and over 40 years in the sheep industry, we dedicate our focus on animal health, responsible land management, and producing exceptional breeding stock. Located in Afton, MN, we invite you to come visit our farm to see our stock.
We are confident our genetics will assist you in the following areas:
- Improve muscle capacity;
- Raise hardy and vigorous lambs;
- Amplify feed conversion factors;
- Enhance production (milk and multiple births);
- Increase fertility;
- Strengthen mothering abilities; or
- Introduce Scrapie resistance factors.
While many of our rams are sold to the commercial producer, we also market our genetics through regional and national shows in Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas and Wisconsin. Our past show and sale results have been remarkable.
We strive to keep our flock productive. Through extensive flushing programs, we monitor our stud ewe flock closely to ensure that most lamb three times within a two-year period. During the off-seasons, use of artificial implants assist in stimulating ovulation and fertilization. When possible, artificial insemination is also introduced to enhance genetics.
