Join Farmer’s Weekly for a practical webinar exploring how breeding and selection can produce functional, adaptable Dormers that perform under real farming conditions. The discussion will focus on the traits that matter most: fertility and lambing performance, growth, hardiness, veld adaptability, functional efficiency, and meat production.
Our experts will also look at how breeders make selection decisions and what commercial farmers should consider when choosing Dormer genetics for their own production systems. The webinar will be moderated by Farmer’s Weekly’s Octavia Avesca Spandiel, with insights from experienced producers Theana Kruger and Thomas van Kerken.
Theana is a Dormer breeder, senior dormer inspector, and member of the Dormer Council. She has been breeding Dormers since 2013 and brings extensive knowledge of breed standards, selection, and the development of functional breeding animals.
Thomas farms Dormers and Bonsmaras. His breeding programme places strong emphasis on veld adaptability, functional efficiency, and producing animals capable of performing under challenging farming conditions.
This webinar is aimed at experienced Dormer producers, farmers considering introducing the breed to their operations, and producers looking to make more informed breeding and selection decisions. It will provide practical insights into breeding sheep that perform consistently and contribute to a profitable farming enterprise.
