Diamond Dorper Ranch

Diamond Dorper Ranch Dorper sheep in Dumas, TX, are raised on broad pastures in Moore County and the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. Amanda Mendez and Jesus Mendez have bred Dorper sheep for over a decade and follow recommended scrapie eradication and footrot prevention protocols. They prioritize gentle handling and early socialization so lambs develop a calm temper and adapt smoothly to new surroundings.

The ranch’s open-range setup gives the flock room to roam, while regular hoof trimming and nutritional checks support overall health. Many lambs have joined 4-H programs and sustainable farms across the region, reflecting their reputation for steady temperament and sturdy build.

Dorper sheep are valued for their resilience in varied climates, their easy care requirements and efficient feed conversion. The ranch draws on family history in sheep farming to maintain sustainable grazing, soil stewardship and habitat enhancement across its fields.
