Welcome to Bonnie Glenn
Here at Bonnie Glenn, we run a small scale dorper and white dorper stud as well as a commercial flock. Like most primary producers we have a busy schedule which means time cannot afford to be wasted, that’s why the focus for our dorper sheep is to ensure they are easy-care good doers.
We expect our sheep to be economical and efficient producers, this means turning off quality lambs from mostly native pastures with minimal fuss (low input in time required and cost).
Situated in the beautiful yet changeable Southern Tablelands of NSW the weather at Bonnie Glenn ranges from the negatives in icy-cold, wind-blasted winters (with occasional snow) to hot summers that can be either humid & temperate or hot & dry depending on what mother nature wishes to throw at us.
This temperamental weather range which is highly changeable requires our stock to be hardy and adaptable to survive and thrive in these conditions, which they do. Although we are not mass producers of livestock our stock are bred to thrive in a range of conditions in a commercial production environment.
A Sheep for all seasons.
Breeding Philosophy
Dorpers were originally developed to be adaptable survivalists that consistently reproduce & provide quality meat carcasses regardless of the climate or environment they are inhabiting. The focus may originally of been mainly on harsh dry climates however their adaptability traits has allowed them to thrive in a wide range of environments, from the very hot & dry, to high humidity & wet, to cold windy, snowy areas.
One tough mother of a meat sheep
We aim to keep this adaptability in our stock – with sound conformation, consistently good fertility & mothering abilities, quality carcass traits & be generally good “doers” all round. Basically, what we expect from our stock is to be “One tough mother of a meat sheep”.
Ewes have a female focus – Feminine frame (without being fragile), fertility & fecundity
Rams have a male focus – Masculine frame, meaty & maturity (early maturing with good growth)
