Breeding Objectives
-
Douwana Dorper have set a clear breeding objective to produce a fast growing lamb that can handle an extreme environment, while traveling long distances to food and water.
-
Douwana Dorper strives to produce high lambing percentages that suit the increasing public demand for quality product.
-
Through growth, fat and muscle measurement, together with visual assessment and family pedigree performance, it enables us to make advanced breeding decisions.
-
Through close monitoring of our flock, Dorpers are chosen to enter our embryo transfer program. Our top 3% of ewes are chosen to go over specially selected sires to ensure optimum genetic gain.
