As we build our Dorper flock, we are striving to select high quality ewes that will perform both in the show ring and in the pasture. The ewes below represent this foundation.

 

J and J 111
"Amethyst"

N&K 466 son x Kelly Ranch
Fullblood

This ewe lamb is so straight in her lines, so good in her rib and so extended in her front, it is hard to believe she is actually a Dorper! Ultra correct, ultra feminine. She will be a foundation in our program no doubt.

"Pearl"

Titanium x Jewel
Fullblood Dorper

Pearl attracted attention everywhere she went. Whether it was catching the eye of a South African judge or impressing the club lamb judge, Pearl proves that the breed standard AND the show ring can combine into one beautiful, productive package!

Emsoff 20001
"Ladybug"

Das Boots x J&J 111
Fullblood Dorper

This ewe epitimizes what we are striving to breed in our Dorper program. Extreme smoothness, extreme correctness, extreme power. She really is as good as she looks in her pictures. It's unfortunate that she was born right before COVID-19 struck, because we have no doubt she would have won some major shows. The one consolation is that she is in our breeding flock!

Emsoff 445
"Gem"

Cheap Shot x Icon 6130
Fullblood Dorper

The twin to Titanium, Gem is out of a truly special Roeder Ranch ewe that we lost way too soon. Gem will no doubt carry on her legecy. Not only does she profile beautifully, she is grooved up down her rack and big in her hip. This is a ewe designed and destined to make great wethers!

Salinas Ranch Dorpers 136
"Made to Shine"

Hijo x Glass
Fullblood Dorper

We were not planning to purchase any sheep at the 2019 Western States Dorper Association Show & Sale, but when Frank saw this unique ewe, he had to have her! Her extension and thickness are exactly what we were needing for our wether program. We expect her to have an lasting impact in this industry!

KCD 10
"Jewel"

Powell Ranch 4461 (Little Hulk son) x Wilson Ranch 1449
Fullblood Dorper
Inspected Type 5 Stud Quality

This picture alone should make it clear why we selected this ewe to add to our flock. But what you can't see is that, while most Dorpers tend to pinch right behind their shoulders, Jewel's rib shape is bold and round and her rack is full and square. This ewe is more traditional in her frame size and a full shedder, to appeal to any Dorper enthusiast.

Emsoff 618
"Diamond"

Sired by Cheap Shot
Fullblood Dorper
Inspected Type 5 Stud Quality

Our first keeper ewe and proof positive that Cheap Shot is the stud we were looking for. Diamond posseses the balance and structure needed to make good wethers with the impecible breed character and femininity needed to make good registered Dorpers. She is truly a ewe that can work in both arenas.
