Highland White Dorpers

Highland White Dorpers is a breeder of Dorper sheep in Drummond, MT, in western Montana near Missoula. Deborah Kolbeck brings years of hands-on experience to herd management and maintains registry records through the Dorper sheep association, with routine health evaluations and parasite control.

The flock grazes rotating pastures and shelters in ventilated barns during severe weather, and lambs are socialized from birth to promote even temperaments. Selection focuses on structural soundness and maternal instincts, evaluated through regular foot inspections and growth monitoring to support both hardiness and ease of handling. Each breeding season is timed with natural grass cycles, reducing the need for supplemental feed and aligning lambing with optimal pasture conditions.

This approach yields Dorper sheep prized for steady growth rates and strong maternal traits, a combination valued by both new flock managers and experienced breeders. Pasture soils are tested annually to ensure balanced mineral content, contributing to the flock’s healthy coat and resilience. Facilities include separate lambing pens and communal grazing areas, reflecting a commitment to both safety and natural flock interactions.
