Twin Maple Farm is a breeder of Registered Production oriented Dorset Sheep. We strive to produce "True" Dorset Sheep that maintain the breed character which has made the Dorset a wise choice of sheep for both the commercial and purebred breeder.
Our emphasis has been placed on Prolificacy (expressed in number of lambs born), and Maternal Traits (expressed in number of lambs weaned, and total pounds of lamb weaned).
Our flock is enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) , which allows us to utilize Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) to identify and select genetically superior animals which enable us to ensure genetic improvement within our flock from year to year.
The farm is owned and operated by the Alberda family and is located close to Lake Michigan‘s shoreline in Zeeland, Michigan, approximately 30 miles from the city of Grand Rapids. Contact us with any requests for breeding stock, freezer lambs, or regarding any questions you might have about our sheep and our farm.
Occasional we have Dorset rams and ewes For Sale. Contact us if you are interested in our breeding stock.
