Whetstone Prairie Dorper is owned and operated by Tom Clark and Debbie Dougherty near Williamsburg, MO. We are located just off of I-70 about 30 miles east of Columbia and 65 miles west of the St. Louis metro area. We’ve had Dorper sheep since 2006. Our flock was created by selecting for the best performing fullblood ewes and rams while adhering to the original Dorper breed standard. All of our ewes have been born here on the farm.

Our goal is to produce easy care fulllblood Dorper sheep that remain true to the South African standard while being adapted to our extreme conditions in central Missouri.  To ensure that we stay true to the standard, we frequently have our flock inspected by certified and unbiased inspectors from South Africa & Namibia.  Our flock remains outside year around with preference to lambing outside unless bitter cold and wet conditions exist. We focus on regenerative ag principles and practice rotational grazing with strong selection for parasite resistance in our flock.  Dorper sheep are superior to any other breed when these principles are followed.  We lamb twice a year and periodically have breeding stock for sale. 

We believe Dorper sheep should be profitable and working for you while being very easy on the eye.  If you are interested in our sheep or just want to talk Dorpers in general, please do not hesitate to contact us.
