@Mike CHS Katahdins come in different colors too. You might get a pretty colored up ram for your girls and get some spotted/colored lambs too!

Dorpers are white or white with black heads. Cross 'em with Katahdin and you get splotchy, spotted color! I really waffled on Katahdins because I like their colors, but I wound up with cross breds, so I got the colors.

Mike, this is @goatgurl's ram! She lives close to a Katahdin breeder and she leases a ram to breed her ewes! I think 'bout the only color on this fella might be purple! LOL

Bay, just for your information when breeding for meat characteristics-- I would stay away from this ram as a herd sire as a ram is equal to half of the herd in value. He has a long sway back, lacks muscleing and masculine structural features.

He's too far away to reach my girls! LOL As always, I respect your opinion and am glad when you post. I like the rams color, and wish Dorpers had color options. In the next couple of years, I will move into registered, quality Dorper stock, starting with a ram. I have cross bred ewes with a grade Dorper ram now, to learn on. I can share with you, this learning process pure-dee sucks. Even though they are cross breds, I cherish each one and it hurts to lose them. Please feel free to comment on my posts as I am always receptive to learning from someone who knows way more than I do!
