22.01.2022 Our current White Dorper rams, available for selection by appointment. Phone Scott Lochhead on 0427502938 or inbox.

22.01.2022 Avoca 173658 bred from Tienne Jordaan/Avoca bloodlines shows strong muscling in the hindquarter and good depth of body. He is 13 months old and weighs 95 kgs, a very productive ram showing excellent growth rate. Currently out to work with some mature ladies.

14.01.2022 Another stud sire. Son of 11019. An extreme ram weighing in at 115 kilos, EMD 54. Yellow tag 130655.

14.01.2022 White Dorper Ram Kaya 150674 bought at Dubbo in 2017. Weighs in at 100 kilos with EMD of 48. Displays very good balance and structure, which is evident in his progeny.

14.01.2022 Avoca 152316 was sired by a Kaya 130677 we bought at the 2015 Dubbo ram sale, providing an outcross which complemented our goals of growth, topline and shoulder placement. We are very happy with the Tien Jordaan blood line from this Kaya ram, who has produced feminine ewes with excellent shape.

10.01.2022 There appears to be some misinformation and confusion circulating about the measurement and importance of Eye Muscle scanning. At Avoca, we strongly believe in the importance of eye muscle depth and area, as it is a heritable trait which research has shown to be a definite indicator for total meat yield. For this reason, eye muscle depth has been a necessary attribute for us when we have chosen our Sires. ... Scanning is a uniform practice, using an ultrasound between the 12th and the 13th rib. This is the procedure used for quality assurance practices, including Lamb Plan. Practitioners do not vary this technique, so any claim to the contrary is incorrect. In past Wentworth Dorper and White Dorper Annual Sales, our rams have regularly scanned well into the late 40s and early 50s. At the 2017 Wentworth Ram Sale our average eye muscle depth across all of our sale rams was 47.8. If people choose Rams with poor scanning results this will impact significantly on their meat production over time. Therefore we consider this an important attribute to pass on to the purchasers of our rams. It is now a fixed heritable trait in our stock.

09.01.2022 We have available for your selection 30 Dorper rams. Due to dry conditions, we are not holding our usual Wentworth Ram Sale and have therefore culled heavily. The sires used have been Avoca bred, selected to suit their environment.

08.01.2022 White dorper rams available for on-farm selection. Rams have been chosen for nice head type, good confirmation, strong muscling and growth rate.

06.01.2022 One of our main Dorper sires 110191. This picture was taken when he was 5 years old. Worked continuously. Magnificent topline, great length and depth of body with a strong, masculine head.

06.01.2022 Dell 150703 weighed in at 105 kilos with an EMD of 52. A very correct ram with an ideal shoulder setting. He has produced very well for us.

05.01.2022 Closest ram to camera 172094 third generation Avoca ram bred from Tienne Jordaan/Mickey Phillips bloodlines weighing 103 kgs. Second ram in 173096 third generation Avoca ram bred from Bulmar bloodlines weighing 111 kgs. We are very pleased with the strong, masculine head development of these blacks, as well as their natural stance as a result of good shoulder placement. These are two of our sires for our breeding programme this year.

05.01.2022 White Dorper stud ram 120499. Weighed in at 123 kilos with an EMD of 52. Large wet ram, who has imparted beautiful length and depth of body onto his ewe line, who show lovely femininity.

01.01.2022 This Dell ram 160394 weighs in at 103 kilos with an EMD of 46. We bought him from Andrea at Dubbo 2017 and he has thrived in our country.

01.01.2022 We have a nice line of recently classed, 18 month old rams for sale. Very pleased with their development.
