RR DORPERS

RR Dorpers has farms in north central Texas and northwest Arkansas. Bob and his son, Justin Ransom, have been involved with raising livestock for decades and started raising Dorpers almost 20 years ago. They started with a small flock of commercial Dorpers, but with their passion for competitive livestock judging and showing, their flock quickly transitioned to champion quality stock.

The Ransom families continue to grow their flock by retaining some of the best performing ewes and purchasing exceptional ewes and rams from elite flocks. In 2017 and 2019 they invested in the flock by importing Australian embryos from the van Niekerks of Dell Dorpers, whose genetic lineage goes back to one of the oldest Dorper studs in South Africa, owned by John Dell. The Ransoms have visited several stations in Australia seeking the best quality embryos and genetics, that offer an ideal outcross. Today the Ransoms lamb 100 head of fullblood ewes and run 50 head of commercial recips. They collect the best proven rams, most notably Patriot and his sons, as well as Australian imports, then offer semen for sale, plus they offer embryos from specific matings as available upon request.

RR Dorpers has had success in the show and sale ring (thanks to Bob and the grandkids spending hours of work in the barn), but more importantly, our commercial buyers continue to come back year after year to purchase the rams that sire thrifty and heavy lamb crops. We hope you will go the extra mile to come visit us at our place in TX or AR, or at least stop by and visit us at the sales. More info can be found at www.rrdorpers.com.
