Matthew 6:13-14. The society is planning a very nice breeders course and judges certification program in Duncan, Oklahoma April 2526, 2013. The courses are followed by our annual show and sale. Theuns Botha from South Africa is our lead instructor. Theuns is my favorite South African that I have listened to. Be sure and reserve a room in Duncan because last year at the show and sale, the town was sold out. Bill Kuecker and Craig Jones are making an impact on the commercial sheep industry. Bill, our board member, working with the Schoolcraft College Culinary Arts Dorper Lamb competition is exposing Master Chefs to Dorper lambs. The students in the competition are developing Dorper lamb recipes. The Society will develop a cookbook using these recipes. We will also be accepting recipes from our members for this cookbook. Darla Schmidt of Goldwaithe, TX will be coordinating the cookbook. Craig Jones, owner of the Prime Fresh Plant of Goldwaithe, TX, is paying a premium price for high quality 90 lb Dorper lambs. Our society members have talked about our high quality meats, but Craig is seeing the difference in the higher dressing percentage and higher yield of better cuts of meat. Craig is spreading the word that better rams produce higher dollar yielding carcass. I have seen the increase in demand for quality rams from the commercial breeders. The Society has teamed up with Hamilton Livestock Sale Barn to host a commercial ram and commercial ewe sale. The ewes will be sold in pens of 3 to10 (ewes do not have to be registered). Commercial rams will be purebred and registered. The sale is scheduled for August 2013 in Hamilton, TX. The sale barn has sellers and buyers over many States. This sale will be a good place to find commercial ewes in groups of ten. For more information, contact Huntis Black, 325-938-5595. The shows and sales that our Society participates in are great places for small breeders to market their flocks. It is important that large and small breeders support our shows and sales. They showcase our sheep to a new and growing market. I hope to see you all in Duncan, Oklahoma.

Gillespie, Weston, MA I am writing this on the first day of Spring, and we still have over a foot of snow on the ground here in Massachusetts, with more coming tomorrow! The Dorpers are nearly finished lambing, and the Winter weather doesn’t seem to affect the lambs in the least. Last week I received the latest issue of The Banner Sheep Magazine, reporting data on 37 sheep breed registries for 2012. Dorpers/White Dorpers stood 4th in registration numbers with 6,505 processed last year. (Suffolks: 8,761; Katahdins: 8,131; Hampshires: 7,760; Dorpers: 6,505; Dorsets: 6,493) and 4 th also in number of transfers processed with 3,289. (Katahdins: 4,456; Hampshires: 3,587; Dorsets: 3,370; Dorpers: 3,289; Suffolks: 3,094). A great year for a breed that is only in its second decade in the USA! We know our numbers could be higher if many of our buyers kept up their registration papers with each successive generation. Registration certificates maximize the resale value of your sheep; without them the sheep are just commercial stock. Last year we sold over 100 head of ewes in commercial pens of three at ADSBS sales and averaged $508 per head. If your commercial Dorpers or White Dorpers aren’t commanding a price like that, then perhaps you need to maintain the papers on them! Next month we kick off Dorper/ White Dorper sale season with the Mid-America Dorper Show & Sale in Duncan, Oklahoma. There are 225 head of Dorpers and White Dorpers consigned and you can download the sale catalog from the www.Dorper. org homepage. Following on the heals of Oklahoma is the Ohio Dorper Showcase Sale in Eaton, Ohio and then the West Coast Production Sale in Orland, Calfornia and the Nugget All-American Sale in Reno, Nevada. Our 2013 National Sale will be held in June at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale in Sedalia, Missouri. After that we follow with the Southern States Dorper Sale in Cookeville, TN in July, the ADSBS Commercial Sale in Hamilton, TX in August and the Texas Hill Country Sale in Fredericksburg, TX in September. I encourage you to attend the sales near you for an opportunity to select seed stock rams and ewes to improve your flock. If you cannot attend in person, there are breeders, including myself, who can make selections for you. We call these “mail bids”, but essentially you tell us what you are looking for and the price range and we act as your agent. We will try to buy for you under your budget, and arrange transportation to your area following the sale. We call you after the bidding is over, and you remit payment immediately to the sale sponsors. I have been handling mail bids for sheep breeders for 37 years and if someone was disappointed they never told me. It is part of my job description working with ADSBS, so if I can help you please call me at 781-929-5618 or email at dorpers@ymail.com and I will get back with you. I hope that you are joining us in Duncan, OK next month for the Dorper Breeder Courses and other events. Information is elsewhere in this issue, and you can late-register if you act immediately.

Please join us on Saturday, April 27th from 9am until 1pm. On the agenda are a fitting class, instructor to be announced and a showmanship clinic instructed by Darla Cude. There will also be a pizza lunch and games to help all of us get to know each other a little better. Some of the new membership has expressed interest in these classes. We will try to video the class so that those who are unable to attend will be able to view it on-line. New this year will be a silent auction to be held during the course of the weekend. Funds raised from the auction will be used to help fund some of the new programs for our junior membership. Please bring an item to contribute to the Silent Auction: suggestions include new sheep equipment, Dorper craft items, gift certificates to suppliers, etc. Stay tuned for more information about regional events. We will be working with the junior board to finalize by-laws for the junior program. Our goal for the year is to plan youth events at each of the regional shows in order for the youth to get to know each other and learn a little bit more about the breed. If you are interested in running for the youth board this year, please contact me or Denise Gillespie. I can be reached by email at womack@wcc.net and Denise can be reached at dgillespie751@yahoo.com. We will be putting together a list of those wishing to run prior to our annual meeting in Duncan. Positions up for election are President, First Vice-President, Second Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Reporter. Another great event in Duncan will be the first ADSBS Youth Show, following the Mid-America Sale on Saturday, April 27th. Late entries are being accepted until April 20th, and sheep purchased in the sale by ADSBS junior members can be late-entered before the show. Entry information is posted on www.dorper.org. This year the beginner ADSBS Dorper Breeder Course being held April 25th and 26th will be open to junior membership. Members between the ages of 13 and 16 will be able to enroll and attend with a parent who is enrolled in the class. Members between the ages of 17 and 19 will be able to attend on their own. The cost of the course for junior members will be covered by ADSBS. The only expense will be the cost of the book, which is $40. Please register NOW using the form included in the newsletter. Late registrations will be accepted until April 20th. New Date & New Location for the West Coast Production Sale May 26, 2013 at the Orland, California Fairgrounds There will be more breeders involved with our sale, along with Broadmead Farms, Grant Dorpers, Glenn Land Farms, and Lewis White Dorpers.

We partnered with one of the nation’s outstanding Culinary Schools to create recipes for chefs and home cooks alike specifically for Dorper lamb. D & M Dorpers Dixie & Mike Thompson Introducing our New RR Stud Ram Crane Creek IA 0500777 As a breed we often talk about we have a differentiated product. One that is heavily muscled, even in fat distribution and mild in flavor and with a carcass that is typically lighter than that of the majority of American lamb. It was time for the breed to put our collective money where our mouth is. If we truly are a quantifiably different product, we should work to understand these differences, and to promote them. One of the challenges that we face in how our product is cooked is that the vast majority of recipes for lamb were developed for lamb that has much different fat, weight and flavor characteristics. Our carcasses potentially allow us to use different flavors and cooking methods to showcase our excellent product. To undertake this demanding project the Breeds partnered with Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan. Schoolcraft is recognized as an outstanding training school for chefs. In fact, of the approximately 60 Certified Master Chefs that are in the United States (the highest level recognized by the Ameri- 7357 New Madison-Coletown Rd Greenville, Ohio 45331-9408 (937) 548-9129 Cell: (937) 564-1413 thompsondjm@embarqmail.com 18 www.dorper.org Spring 2013 can Culinary Federation) 5 of them are on staff at Schoolcraft College. What we developed was a contest, in which 11 teams of two student chefs would compete to develop two recipes with modest scholarships available to winners. Each team developed one for restaurant use and one recipe for home cooks. In addition, the students developed side dishes and sauces to complement their Dorper Lamb creations. The students also each submitted an essay on Dorper lamb and researched the breed and it’s characteristics. The students then developed their recipes under the tutelage of Certified Master Chef Kevin Gawronski. The students put an amazing amount of time into their recipes. As a producer witnessing this event, I was simply amazed at the passion that they showed for cooking Dorper Lamb. On the second day, the students then cooked and plated their creations which were judged under American Culinary Federation standards by a team of highly decorated chefs and one extremely fortunate Dorper Breeder. The students were encouraged to use the whole carcass. Recipes were developed utilizing each wholesale cut as well as ground lamb, lamb sweetbreads and kidneys. Over 25 different recipes were developed that can now be used by the breeds. In addition, a video of the event was taken that will be used by the breeds for promotion purposes. Of course, any recipe is only as good as the product that it comes from. Hamilton Sheep station provided ten whole carcasses for the competition. They represented the breed exceptionally well. I collected carcass data on the carcasses and they averaged 45# in hanging weight, with a 2.65 sq. inch average Loin Eye Area and .12 of an inch of adjusted fat opposite the Spring 2013 loin eye. They also exhibited a bright and very youthful color of lean and ribs. The breeds simply got a treasure trove of information from this exercise that will be used in our future efforts. You can look forward to these recipes being highlighted in future issues and being disseminated for use in other ways as well. I look forward to sharing future developments in our brand development efforts as they proceed. www.dorper.org 19 2013 Fort Worth Regional Open Show January 26, 2013 * Judge: Charles Turner, Dublin, Texas Regional Champion Dorper Ram-Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, Texas DORPERS Fall Ram Lambs: 1) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX; 2) Logan Lair, Cooper, TX Spring Ram Lambs: 1) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 2) Megan Powell, Eldorado, TX; 3) Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX; 5) Logan Lair, Cooper, TX; 6 & 9) Hannah Celella, Terrell, TX; 7 & 8) Ethan Horton, Wichita Falls, TX Pair of Ewe Lambs: 1) Megan Powell, Eldorado, TX; 2) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX Junior Yearling Ewes: 1) 3C Ranch, Fort Stockton, TX; 2) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 3 & 5) Shannon Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX; 4, 7 & 8) Keith Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX; 6) Blaze Haag, Harper, TX Senior Yearling Ewes: 1) Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX; 2) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 3) Cole Speck, Lohn, TX; 4) Kira Wells, Cisco, TX Pair of Yearling Ewes: 1) Shannon Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX; 2) Keith Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX Aged Ewes: 1 & 5) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX; 2 & 3) 3C Ranch, Fort Stockton, Regional Reserve Champion Dorper Ram-Philip Glass, Water Valley, TX TX; 4) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 6) Keith Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX; 7) Shannon Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX Regional Champion Dorper Ewe: Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX Regional Reserve Champion Dorper Ewe: SHADY LANE DORPERS ANNE & MIKE PO BOX 1873 BLOOMFIELD, NM 87413 (505)330-4883 shadylanedorpers.com amo@shadylanedorpers.com BARB & BRIAN PO BOX 635 CHAMA, NM 87520 (575)209-0317 WHEATHER YOU’RE COMING… 20 www.dorper.org Spring 2013 Regional Champion Dorper Ewe-Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX TX; 4) Powell Ranch, Eldorado, TX; 5) Zeke Davis, Iraan, TX; 6) Hannah Glass, Water Valley, TX Winter Ram Lambs: 1) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 2) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX; 3) Shannon Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX; 4) Keith Weyerts, Fort Stockton, TX Fall Ram Lambs: 1) Powell Ranch, Eldorado, TX; 2) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX; 3) Megan Powell, Eldorado, TX; 4) Kira Wells, Cisco, TX Pair of Ram Lambs: 1) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 2) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX Yearling Rams: 1) Philip Glass, Water Valley, TX; 2) Jayla Lair, Cooper, TX; 3) Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX Aged Ram: 1) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX Regional Champion Dorper Ram: Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX Regional Reserve Champion Dorper Ram: Philip Glass, Water Valley, TX Fall Ewe Lambs: 1 & 2) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX Spring Ewe Lambs: 1) Powell Ranch, Eldorado, TX; 2) Megan Powell, Eldorado, TX; 3) Seth Gillespie, Hamilton, TX; 4) Blaze Haag, Harper, TX; 5) 3C Ranch, Fort Stockton, TX; 6) Jayla Lair, Cooper, TX; 7) Owen Davis, Iraan, TX; 8) Zeke Davis, Iraan, TX Winter Ewe Lambs: 1) 3C Ranch, Fort Stockton, TX; 2) Hannah Glass, Water Regional Reserve Champion Dorper Ewe-Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX Valley, TX; 3, 7 & 9) Tina Wilson, Sterling City, TX; 4) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 5 & 6) 3C Ranch, Fort Stockton, TX; 8) Brylie Roeder, Fredericksburg, TX; 10) Hannah Glass, Water Valley, TX; 11) Blaze Haag, Harper, TX Fall Ewe Lambs: 1 & 4) Megan Powell, Eldorado, TX; 2) Roeder Ranch, Fredericksburg, TX; 3) Jayla Lair, Cooper, OR GOING… WE INVITE YOU TO STOP BY & SEE WHAT’S FOR SALE ON THE FARM.
