Dorper Sheep 

Est 2010                       Flock 034.

The Hope Flock of Dorper Sheep was established in 2010. Stock was imported from Germany. We have had our first crop of beautiful lambs this year. many of which will be offered for sale, male and female. We went into keeping Dorper Sheep due to the fact they are renowned for shedding their 'wool' which means less likely of fly strike. And are easy Lambers. which we hope to produce crossing Rams 

Dorpers were created in South Africa in 1942 by crossing Dorset Horn Ram and a Persian Black Headed Ewes thus creating a hardy, prolific, milky breed of sheep.

The Dorper is renowned world wide for its quality carcass and confirmation and Dorper cross lambs are regularly winning carcass competitions . Even though the UK already has some excellent terminal sires breeds are not without its problems, again causing more labour. The Dorper lamb is born with little worry to this problem due to the breeds high meat to bone ratio and along with dense hair coat, natural hardiness and amazing vigor, they quite literally 'hit the floor running' most lambs are on their feet within 5 minutes and suckled within 15 minutes.
