Cedar View Dorpers

Owned by Jeff and Karen Wright, we have three children Natasha, Katrina, and Jarrett.  We both work fulltime, Jeff works off the farm, Karen runs a business from home. We have raised sheep since 1998.  We currently have a flock of 125 Ewes, Dorper full blood and percentage. We have raised Dorper sheep since 2001.  We hope to have a flock of 125 registered purebred Dorpers by 2011. Our bloodlines include Rams from Ram H Breeders in Alberta, we have a new ram with some new genetics, the first lambs are very nice good coloring and conformation. We are currently sourcing QR and RR rams for the scrapie program.  The Ewes are either from the Compion Line, Jordaan Line and RAMH. Our farm is 180 acres; we graze on approximately 60 acres.  We produce our own hay and purchase grain from neighboring farmers. We participate in the OSMA Sheep health program, the SFIP program, and are preparing for the scrapie program. 

Dorpers are easy keepers, good mothers, no shearing required, and have a suberb meat carcass.  We consistantly get top and high dollar at the sale barn for our lambs, the ones we send for meat are Dorper crosses.  This breed is great for the commercial breeder, giving an improved carcass with full legs and long loins. 

Llamas are used for protection.
