About Us

Our Flock of 50 Polled Dorsets was established in 1992 as a 4H flock and with the help, mentoring and support from many great Dorset breeders. Our farm is located in Metamora IL where the Hodel family is able to work together in raising, breeding, and showing Dorsets. We have improved our quality and increased our numbers over the last 30 years. We enjoy attending all levels of shows to promote the Dorset breed around North America. Our family enjoys gaining positive relationships with current sheep breeders and connecting at shows, sales, or farm visits. Most of all our biggest goal in our family project is to help the next generation of youth gain integrity and work ethic through the responsibilities of raising sheep.
