Byford Dorpers

We breed full blood dorper sheep from our property in Jarrahdale with the aim of providing quality, low maintence sheep for the small landholder.The Dorper sheds its fleece during the warmer months (late Spring/Summer). The wool simply falls off the skin and onto the ground where it breaks down into the soil. The fleece regrows in Autumn when the temperature becomes cooler. As they shed their wool Dorpers do not require shearing and are less susceptible to flystrike. I have never had a Dorper sheep suffer flystrike. Dorpers eliminate the need for mulesing and fly treatments. Dorper sheep are also very friendly - ours even come when they are called!
