The White Dorper is highly regarded for its carcass traits and ability to match performance of other meat breeds under poor nutrition. However, good quality fencing is required.

The foundation BreedersBEST White Dorper ewes came from the dispersal of the Saxon Downs stud with the purchase of 53 elite ewes.  These ewes have subsequently been joined to high-performance semen sires from the Blanco, Ida Vale and Kaya White Dorper studs and the impact fast-tracked through extensive embryo transfer programs.
