Rockin L Dorpers. We started raising sheep in northeast Texas about one and a half years ago. We chose Dorpers because they are hair sheep and shed, therefore no shearing. They lamb every 8 months, the meat is better with no strong "lamb taste." Carcass weight is 57– 58% compared to 51% for most other breeds. They grow very fast.The Dorpers raise good lambs on forage where most sheep barely exist.
We raise our lambs on grass and sometimes have to feed a little hay. we supplement with a mineral mix of Sea Salt, Sea kelp and Diatomaceous earth. We worm with Garlic Barrier. We believe Grass Fed to be much better than "Organic" as organic tells you what they don't use, nothing about what they do use.
We leave the rams in year round so usually have butcher lambs for sale. We have breeding stock for sale also. Fullblood rams, percentage & purebred rams. We usually have ewe lambs for sale, both percentage and purebred. Our ewe lambs are at least 6 months old and ready to breed. Or possibly bred.
Visit our website or give us a call. We are at Mt Vernon, on Interstate 30, 100 miles east of Dallas.
