Cloudberry Acres

Cloudberry Acres, a small-family Dorper sheep breeder in Carlton, MN, raises its flock on rolling pastures in northern Minnesota near Duluth. Julia Rypka has been nurturing Dorper sheep for more than a decade and maintains membership in the American Dorper Sheep Society while arranging routine health screenings. The sheep graze on open grass pastures during summer and retire to simple shelters through colder months for rest and protection. Attentive care during lambing season includes warm, clean pens, daily monitoring, and gentle guidance for new lambs.

Early gentle handling and consistent interaction help the lambs become calm, confident, and well-adapted to farm routines. The farm uses rotational grazing to support soil health, plant diversity, and a balanced ecosystem. Cloudberry Acres embraces sustainable practices, crop rotation, and composting to maintain pasture quality. Families appreciate the personalized updates on each lamb’s growth, temperament, and the storytelling that brings their experience to life.
