WELCOME TO
ITTYBITTY RANCH
Located 7 miles west of Arcadia, Ne. on Hwy 70 and 2 miles south on Rd. 460
I invite you to take a look at my operation. I currently run a small flock of Purebred White Dorper sheep. I take great pride in my White Dorper Sheep and am very conscientious of their care. Please feel free to contact me about what I have to offer.
WHY RAISE WHITE DORPER SHEEP
Hardy and Adaptable - Dorper Sheep are highly adaptable and do well in harsh, extensive conditions as well as in more intensive operations.
Excellent Maternal Qualities - Ewes are excellent mothers and heavy milkers. Lambs are vigorous and have high survivability.
Long Breeding Season - Dorpers are non-seasonal or have an extended breeding season. They can easily be managed to produce three lamb crops in two years.
Reproductive Efficiency-Dorpers are very fertile and prolific. Lambing rates of 180% can be achieved per lambing. They are early maturing and will produce a lamb crop at one year of age.
Pre-potency - Dorper sheep cross well with commercial ewes of other breeds and as terminal sires produce fast growing, muscular lambs.
Non-Selective Grazers - Dorpers are excellent converters of a wide range of forage types and they excel in grazing or weed control operations.
Heat and Insect Tolerant - Because of their Blackhead Persian origin, Dorpers have natural tolerance to high temperatures and heavy insect populations. They are productive in areas where other breeds barely survive.
Disease Tolerant - Studies indicate Dorper Sheep are better able to deal with a parasite burden than many other breeds. While management of parasites may still be necessary, targeted drenching practices will yield good results.
