Dorper Sheep

As the flock has developed, we have introduced Dorper sheep to complement our Ryelands and support our long‑term goals.

Dorpers are known for:

• Excellent meat qualities
• Impressive growth rates
• Hardy, low‑maintenance characteristics
• Suitability for both commercial production and showing

We have reduced Ryeland numbers slightly to allow the Dorper flock to expand. Early results have been extremely positive, and we are excited to develop this side of the flock further.

Looking Ahead

Both breeds now have a clear place in our future:

• Coloured Ryelands continue to provide strong, well‑built lambs with excellent temperaments.
• Dorper sheep bring versatility, performance and new opportunities for meat production and the show ring
