Wooden Springs Dorper Stud

Winter has been very dry here  at WoodenSprings with no rain for nearly 3 months, so dry we had to start feeding out hay to our ewes with lambs. Just in past couple of days we recieved 10 mls of rain and the grasses have instantly sprung back to life.  Always amazes me how quickly  the grasses responds to such a small amount of rain. So we’re  again hoping for more rain…………………………. but not too much.

 The National Dorper Show and Sale is coming up on the 31st August-1st September. We unfortunately this year due to a  short trip to the hospital for John and a couple of months recovery, have not entered any of our sheep this year, but are looking forward to seeing Australia’s Best Dorpers  on display over the 3 days in Dubbo NSW.

 We have recently had our stud inspection  attended for 2011  by Wicus Cronje. He used the word centrefold quite a few times with our ewes and again said it was not possible for a small stud to produce such quality. So we are again very pleased with our breeding results.

We are a small stud and aim to maintain our flock to a size suited to this property.  The aim is to continually improve the productivity of our soils , pastures and increase the  biodiversity available to enable us to increase the size  and quality of our flock. Last year we planted a tree for every lamb we retained on the property, not all of those trees have survived  the past few dry months unlike our Dorpers.

We currently have Typed Dorper Ewes & Rams , commercial rams & ewes and  cross ewes for sale………….
