Here at Pearl River Ranch...

Our fertile pastures are the home to Mississippi's largest privately owned Dorper and White Dorper Sheep ranch.  The Dorper is a South African breed of domestic sheep developed by crossing Dorset Horn and the Blackhead Persian sheep. The breed was created through the efforts of the South African Department of Agriculture to breed a meat sheep suitable to the more arid regions of the country. It is now farmed in other areas as well, and is the second most common sheep breed in South Africa and the #1 bred sheep in Texas.
