Characteristics of the Dorper Sheep:

• Hardy and Adaptable-Do well in harsh, extensive conditions as well as in more intensive operations.
• Excellent Maternal Qualities-Ewes are excellent mothers and heavy milkers. Lambs are vigorous and have high survivability.
• Long Breeding Season-Dorpers are nonseasonal or have an extended breeding season. They can easily be managed to produce three lamb crops in two years.
• Reproductive Efficiency-Dorpers are very fertile and prolific. Lambing rates of 180% can be achieved per lambing. They are early maturing and will produce a lamb crop and one year of age.
• Pre-potency-Dorpers cross well with commercial ewes of other breeds and as terminal sires produce fast growing, muscular lambs.
• Non-Selective Grazers-Dorpers are excellent converters of a wide range of forage types and they excel in grazing operations.
• Heat and Insect Tolerant-Because of their Blackhead Persian origin, Dorpers have natural tolerance to high temperatures and heavy insect populations. They are productive in areas where other breeds barely survive.
