Dorper lambs, young ewes and rams are available for sale!

Sheep for your land or sheep for a 4-H project or home training your dog, we have your sheep now.

Dorper sheep survive and thrive nicely in our high New Mexico desert country and can adapt to harsh forage and weather conditions with very little "tending" from the owner. They have a natural tolerance to high temperatures and heavy insect populations. They survive productively in areas that other sheep breeds have difficulty because of their Blackhead Persian ancestry.

Dorper sheep are heavy milkers and raise vigorous lambs. They can have three lamb crops in two years. They mature early and can produce lambs as early as one year of age. Dorpers cross well with other commercial ewes, producing fast growing well muscled lambs. On average, a ewe weighs in at160 - 220 lbs, a ram at 225 -275 lb. As a "meat sheep", they bulk up quickly, and as a "hair sheep," they require no shearing.

Free To Be Ranch sheep have been given only natural foods - no antibiotics, no chemical additives and no hormones, so they are in prime condition. Dorper sheep mature quixkly and have high lambing rates.

Our FTBR ewes are most often "dog broke," having been worked daily by our own working border collies and during various herding trials. They are conditioned for working with your ranch dog or training your ranch dog.
