Dorper Sheep for Sale
Our goal is to maintain a core flock of superior Dorper ewes with excellent meat characteristics. From the flock we sell breeding quality animals to help other folks start or improve their own flock. We currently have about 50 fullblood, purebred, and percentage registered ewes. We seek out the best rams we can find to continue to improve the genetic potential of the flock. Any animal we are not proud to sell goes into our commercial pool and helps to pay the feed bills. Our flock is enrolled in the voluntary scrapie program. We've been working on establishing the "R" gene in the flock and we now have a few QR animals for sale. The "R" gene provides resistance to most forms of the scrapie disease.

"Bee-Bee" Born 7/06, Purebred 15/16ths Exposed to QR ram. Sire: RamH Scully, meaty, good bone, from a line of good mothers and easy birthing ewes. |
|
 |
"CC" Born 2/07, Purebred 15/16ths
|
|
 |
"Little Susie" Born 11/06, Purebred 31/32ths Sire: RamH Scully Twin, out of my #2 producing ewe. Mother averaged 2 lambs per 12 months over 5 years, great milker and easy lamber! This should be a really good ewe for your flock! And slick hair coat, too. |
 |
|
|
"Boots" Born 10/06, percentage 87%, her lambs will be purebred! Twin, her sire is QR. I'm keeping her twin sister because this line of ewes are incredibly hardy, prolific, and parasite resistant. Good bone, good hair coat. |
|
 |
"Pinto" Born 9/05, percentage 75% Sired by Dude. A really pretty ewe, twin, had twin lambs in January. Look at her length! And she sheds completely, to boot. I'll keep one of these ewes in my flock. |
|
 |
"Kewpie" Born 1/07, percentage 87%, (her lambs will be purebred) Sired by our young QR ram. Twin, daughter of Pinto, above. |
 This is Kewpie's twin brother. See how the color can improve in a generation. Their mother is "Pinto". |
Former Flock Rams, sires of our ewes...

Ram H Scully, was the junior champion ram lamb at the 2002 Midwest Stud Ram sale and has the bloodlines of both of the great Ram H studs, Monarch and Jonty. He has good bone and sheds completely |
Dude, Fullblood, perfect shedding cover, inspected type 4, super length and depth, and a sound mover. |
Rocky, Purebred, terrific meat qualities, balanced and sound, inspected as a type 5. 2004 National Champion Ram at Sedalia.
|
| We've added two nice flock rams this year, a QR ram from Riverwood Farms, and a nice young ram from Summa Dorpers in Arizona. | |
 |
<<<<--Summa Dorpers Ram, Sold! We've kept some of his daughters, they have nice bone and great width and depth. Notice how well he sheds! $450 |
 "Robusto" at San Angelo Stock Show, February 2007, we've kept a young ram lamb from him. |
 "Happy", on the left, a type 5 ewe, triplet ewe lambs from her available in January! |
 |
"Dozer" We saw this ram at the Hill Country Sale, and despite a promise not to buy any more rams, after seeing his daughters and granddaughters, decided he'd look good in our pasture. He weighs in at 253 pounds, and look at the length and depth we admired in his daughters. |
