ADORE is very pleased to announce the birth of our first dorper lambs for a very special reason. From left to right we welcome Jolly (the jumbuck), Wally, Dolly (not the clone – an original) and Molly.

First to arrive Dolly and Molly were born on Sophie’s birthday. On Angus’s birthday we thought he would have to be content with Wally, but several hours later Jolly appeared (head only) and took a bit of work to get extracted, fortunately fighting fit.

We have the dorpers as a biological control for fireweed which is toxic to most stock, alpacas in particular, and endemic in our area.

Jolly and Wally will probably end up in the freezer unless they get a better offer. We will be looking to exchange Dolly and Molly for other pure bred dorper ewes that we can join with their father.

Expressions of interest by email welcome.
