Dorpers readily adapt to most climatic zones and thrives in the toughest of conditions. If you visit the ABOUT US link you will see that Dorsland Dorpers our main stud in S.A. is situated in the very center of South Africa. A semi arid area with relatively low rainfall, high temperature in summer (up to 45C ) and very cold winters (down to -10C). With these conditions in mind we are comfortable that our genetic material will adapt almost anywhere.
