The Dorper is a white sheep with a black head or head and neck, with complete dark pigmentation of exposed skin. The covering is a short loose mixture of hair and wool with a natural clean kemp underline. The Dorper was developed as a meat sheep in South Africa in the mid 1900s by crossing a Dorset (horn) ram with a Blackhead Persian ewe. In July 1950 a breeder's society was founded. The White Dorper is an all white sheep that shares its many attributes with the Dorper, differing only in color. The White Dorper was developed as a meat sheep in South Africa in the mid 1900s by crossing a Dorset (horn)/Blackhead Persian with a Dorset (horn)/Van Rooy. Later infusion of the Ronderib Afrikaaner created the White Dorper as we know it today. The sheep was originally called Dorsian and a breed association was formed. In 1964 it was decided to join with the Dorper society but to maintain the two as separate breeds. The White Dorper as a terminal sire on white faced sheep will render an "uninterrupted white" cross lamb with outstanding meat qualities.
