DK Dorpers

DK Dorpers Breed quality stock available. Welcome to our Facebook site! We are located in Galt, California, and raise Dorper sheep. Thank you.

There are many reasons why people choose to raise specific animals. We selected the Dorper because they are beautiful, have a docile temperament, don't require shearing, and very fertile and hardy! Basically, they are beautiful, easy to maintain, and tasty, so what's not to love! :-)

A little Dorper History: The Dorper breed was developed in South Africa in the 1930's, by crossing a Dorset Ho

rn x Blackhead Persian. The Blackhead Persian sheep, a hardy, fat-tailed desert breed from Arabia, brings to the Dorper its hardiness, thriftiness, adaptability, pigmentation and hair covering. In addition, the Persians have very valuable skins used in the production of fine leather products. The Dorset Horn rams crossed with Blackhead Persian ewes produced fast growing and heavily muscled lambs. Many University and other taste tests report that Dorper lamb meat is milder, leaner, and richer in flavor than other breeds of sheep --- and we agree. A little about us: Our family ranch is located in Galt, CA, we offer fullblood show and breed quality Dorper sheep to start or enhance your flock. Our family spends a lot of time with our stock, and they are well cared for. We believe a quality environment combined with a quality animal is critical for producing superior meat. Nothing is genetically altered, and no growth hormones or other alterations are used to raise our animals. Grass-fed lambs have less fat accumulation over the carcass and increased marbling in the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful product. The flavor of the Dorper meat has a mild yet rich flavor, it is delicate and not overpowering, and we believe it surpasses the flavor of any other sheep breed. Dorper lamb is not your traditional lamb product -- it's better!! We are members of the American Dorper Sheep Breeder's Society, the Western States Dorper Association, and the South African Dorper Sheep Breeder's Society, and look forward to answering any questions you might have.
