White Dorper Sheep and Miniature Donkeys
Firethorn Farm, established in 1979, is located on 180 acres in the beautiful, rolling hills of Southwestern Pennsylvania. We raise White Dorper Sheep and Miniature Donkeys.
White Dorpers are meat sheep. They don't produce fiber, just meat... delicious and mild and lots of it. They have superior carcasses with large loin eyes and thick legs.
Our goal has always been to produce healthy, hardy, productive animals. Health is a priority for us. Our White Dorper Sheep have tested negative for CL, CAE, OPP and Johne's. We maintain a closed ewe flock and introduce a new ram as needed.
Our Miniature Donkeys? Spending time with them is the perfect way to end a stressful day. Sitting in the barn with these gentle souls while they wait for a pat or a hug, any kind of attention. They always make you smile.
We also have a riding mule, three retired llamas, a 15 y.o. Angora Goat, two geese, two barn cats, three livestock guard dogs and six Border Collies- hope I didn't miss anyone.
