It is the Dorper + ewe’s ability to balance meat production, eating quality and reproductive efficiency while maintaining her traits in mothering and longevity that defines the Dorper + program. It’s important to have all of these traits balanced, while the Dorper + ewe isn’t the most extreme in any one trait, she is the best combination of all the traits.

 

It’s easy to focus on one trait and make it progress, but you don’t want animals that are extreme in one trait and are susceptible to metabolic and environmental breakdown as a consequence. Haldane Genetics Dorper + are Dorpers that have been gene tested to have a copy of the FERTMAX fertility gene.
