Cossinade Dorpers

Cossinade Dorpers raises Dorper sheep in Kaplan, LA in the Acadiana region near Lafayette.

Michael C Briolo has established a flock that receives regular veterinary care and follows nutrition and vaccination guidelines recommended for Dorper sheep. Michael stays informed on breed advancements through industry publications and peer networks and oversees periodic performance evaluations to monitor growth rates and fleece characteristics. The sheep graze on well-managed pastures with nutrient-rich forage throughout the seasons and benefit from routine hoof trimming and parasite control. Animals are handled gently from an early age to ensure calm temperament and easy integration into farm life.

This family-run operation balances sustainable grazing practices with attention to lamb growth and fleece quality. With a focus on transparency and responsible husbandry, Cossinade Dorpers shares farm updates through community events and supports local agricultural initiatives. A visitor review noted the herd’s calm disposition and well-kept pastures.
