Dorper Sheep Page - Picture Gallery
A Black Headed
Persian ewe,
crossed with a Dorset Horn Ram,
produced the Dorper that we know
today.
This Dorper ram, Jabra, was sold
for a record R70,000 ( ± US$ 15,000 in July 1997) at an auction
in 1994.
This ram "Chips" was
sold for an even higher figure, the highest yet, R150,000, (US$
32,300) in 1996.
Chips (10 months above)
developed into a mature ram, (below) showing an excellent example
of the Dorper Breed. Chips was the 1996 South African Grand
Champion Ram.
