President’s Message

By Freddy RossouwADSBS President, Phillipsburg, Kansas

Hello all I hope you are all doing well.

Although this year has been full of obstacles with canceled events, our members did not let these things keep them from being successful. Many members had individual or combined online sales. We have had some record months for new registrations and transfers and are close to last year’s numbers. I would like to congratulate the Western States Dorper Association along with the Texas Hill Country Dorper Association and the Mid South Regional Dorper Association for having successful shows and sales despite having to deal with the uncertainty whether these events would be able to held. We have once again reached the time of the year where

we get to vote to elect board members for 2021. We have nine candidates competing for four board vacancies. Please take the time to read the biographies of all the candidates in this issue of the Dorper Report. I would like to inform everyone that only members who have paid their 2020 membership dues will receive a numbered ballot in the mail. Please take the time to read the instructions on the ballot as the ballot is not to be mailed to the office. Any ballots that are either not signed, mailed to the office or any duplicate or photocopied ballots will be spoiled ballots and they will not be counted. We have noticed a significant delay in the mail that has caused some mail from the office to take anywhere from one to two weeks longer to be delivered. We have received many good applicants for the Executive Secretary position and by the time you receive this issue the board would have hired someone for this position. We will be having our Junior and Senior Dorper Courses in Duncan, Oklahoma next year with two South African instructors. There will also be the opportunity for members to have flock inspections and the chance to have a personal instructor. Due to the high cost of putting on this kind of educational event we have no choice but to raise the fees. Please see the ads for these events in this issue of the Dorper Report.

Board of Director Candidates

American DorperSheep Breeders’ Society

Four director positions are up for election this year by members of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders’ Society. There are nine candidates who have accepted nominations. Ballots will be mailed to all eligible ADSBS Members around October 15th and must be returned by U.S. Mail, postmarked no later than November 15, 2020. The top three qualified vote-getters will win the three-year terms, and the fourth will receive the two-year term to fill a vacancy. The candidates’ information in alphabetical order appears below.

James AverillWebberville, Michigan

The Dorper breed possess all the attributes to become a major player in the US sheep market and I would love the opportunity to help market the Dorper breed to the US sheep industry, consumers, and food service industry as a Board of Director for the American Dorper Sheep Breeder Society. This breed is growing in popularity and we need to ensure the Dorper breed continues to grow whether in the show ring, to the commercial sheep producers, and the retail market/consumer. There are opportunities for all who want to be a part of the Dorper breed. In 2012 my wife and I started a small dorper flock in Michigan that focuses on meeting the South African breed standards while being productive on the farm and in the show ring. We have successfully shown and sold our genetics across the entire United States. We take pride in producing sound and productive sheep. As a member of the Board of Directors I would bring my lifelong experience in agriculture and utilize my

leadership and communication skills, problem solving, and collaborative efforts to help grow, promote, and enhance the ADSBS and the Dorper breed. My career has provided me many opportunities to be in leadership roles such as State Veterinarian for Michigan, to Deputy Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture to my current position as the Director of Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. These leadership positions have allowed me to develop an ability to effectively communicate and work in partnerships with various entities while tackling difficult issues. I believe my scientific training, leadership, and communication skills will be an asset to the Board as we continue to grow and enhance this great organization and breed. Please vote for James Averill, DVM, PhD. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

and I have been married for 19 years, and we have two children, Peighton and Carter. We live on a ranch and make our primary living from production agriculture. I feel humbled to be nominated for a second term on the ADSBS, and would appreciate your vote. I have been around sheep since I could walk. My family raised commercial finewools for nearly 100 years, and I have been raising Dorpers since 2003. I passed the Dorper Course years ago and I am a certified Dorper judge. Needless to say, I understand the challenges we all face in production agriculture. I have lost lambs to predation, parasites, theft, drought, freezing rain, entrotoxemia, automobile collisions, pregnancy disease, urinary calculi, broke necks, and floods. I have experienced market down-turns for my lambs, while witnessing fat lamb owners at the end of the pipe taking Government bail- outs. I have bombed out on flushes in ET programs, and I have been on the losing end of stock shows. Not once, but three times I have been ask to leave the Dorper ring with a cull sheep. I have Been there with you, folks. Reaching your potential as a Dorper breeder is a challenge! But goodness I am blessed by the wisdom I have gained from those setbacks I experienced. It has resulted in a clean, rewarding lifestyle, friendships, and lots of banners. Mostly those struggles forced me to honestly appraise the production methods and breeds that I grew up with. And from that, I will tell you this: the Dorper is the most logical choice to offset today’s sheep production



challenges. Management, selection, and marketing are your strongest tools to be successful. Regarding ADSBS issues, I feel it is important for our Board to uphold our South African Breed Standards, NOT the nationality of an instructor. No matter if you are a South African, American, or Eskimo, if you are hired as an instructor, then speak truth and show respect to the breeders whose sheep you are judging. Also, If you did not know, Covid-19 haulted the Dorper Tour we had scheduled for last May. We had an awesome program planned and I had envisioned that it could be moved around the country from year to year. On-farm courses would provide a deeper experience, and is a worthy possibility for a new board to explore. Finally, as we usher in a new Executive Secretary, it is imperative that we direct specific efforts toward a branded product where US Dorper lamb is THE cut of choice. In closing, I invite you to browse wildcatranchdorpers.com, where you can learn more about my family, our White Dorpers, and read commentary on how I view the breed’s purpose across the industry. Or, you can call or text my cell at 432-264-3920 if you want to discuss any ADSBS issues.

Danny JonesSmithville, Tennessee

I am Danny Jones from Warren County in middle Tennessee. I grew up here on my family farm which has been a diversified operation of livestock and crops. Crops we raised included nursery trees, hay, corn, and tobacco. Livestock operations included cattle, horses, and pigs. I was active in 4-H from an early age and one day my 4-H agent suggested that my brother and I

try out the sheep project. I was hooked the very first year and began what has been a lifetime passion for raising sheep. Throughout high school I was actively raising and showing market lambs and breeding sheep. I was on numerous 4-H and FFA livestock judging teams. And my sheep operation helped me to achieve state and national awards in both 4-H and FFA. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a degree in engineering science. My professional career has been primarily concentrated in the environmental field. For the past 22 years I have been the president and owner of Dynamis, Inc. which provides environmental, petroleum, and wastewater services to commercial customers. Today my wife, Penny, and I have four children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and two more grandchildren currently on the way. While our children were still very young, I began building up our flock. I wanted them to experience the joy and responsibility I had known in my youth with the sheep. All of our children have shown sheep at numerous 4-H shows and county fairs over the years. We have been known as Narrow Gate Farm since 2002. My journey with Dorpers began in 2007 with the purchase of a ram and four ewe lambs. We also had three other registered breeds. As I began to experience the amazing traits of the Dorpers, beginning on the day they are born, I quickly focused my concentration on the Dorpers. One by one, the other breeds we owned were sold to other breeders. We added White Dorpers to our operation in 2013. Currently our flock consists of approximately 150 registered Dorpers and White Dorpers. The daily farm operations are handled primarily by my son Dillon and me with other family members assisting from time to time and serving in advisory roles. For several years now I have enjoyed participating in the national and regional Dorper shows and sales as well as various seminars and training events. I am thankful for the great service of Doug Gillespie for many years in coordinating those

events. I have successfully completed the Senior Dorper Breeder Course. Currently I serve as Vice President with the Mid-South Regional Dorper Association. I have worked with our Mid-South Regional board as well as members of the Tennessee Sheep Producers Association to establish an annual Mid-South Regional Dorper Show. Our second annual show was held in August with a great group of participants and sheep. Youth programs and events have been a particular favorite of mine. When our children were Junior members of the ADSBS, they participated for a number of years in the Youth/ Ewe Lamb Futurity Program. It has been great to see that program expanded in an effort to increase greater youth participation in all regions of the country. For the past couple of years I have worked with Sarah Towery to provide the awards for the Southern States Youth Show funded by donations from members of the Mid-South Regional Dorper Association. And I have been privileged to serve as one of the judges for the Youth Sheep Production Contest, scoring record book entries and conducting interviews. I have been amazed each year at the level of knowledge and capability of our young people participating in this program. If elected to the board I would like to work to continue to expand opportunities and incentives for greater youth participation across the country. I would now like to talk about the Dorper breed as a whole in the United States. Not only do we as breeders have an extremely productive and useful breed of sheep, but we have an especially unique history, breed standard, and organization. It is truly remarkable to see how far this breed has come since being introduced to this country 25 years ago. I am thankful to the breeders who stepped out and took a chance to bring the Dorpers here, and to those who promoted and exhibited Dorpers in the early years. So many of us are now benefitting from the efforts of those who led the way. Our breed standard is something that should always be maintained both in the show ring and in the pasture. We have a set of standards unlike any other breed. And as I have learned through the Dorper courses, each of



Paul LewisBonanza, Oregon

My name is Paul Lewis. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a bachelors degree in Math. My wife, Kathy, was an Ag Major there where we met and after graduation, Married. We have been involved in the sheep business longer than I like to admit, getting our first White Dorpers in 1996. I am the Past President of both the California Woolgrowers and the Oregon Sheep Growers Associations. I have also served as board member and chair of the National Sheep Improvement Center having been appointed by the USDA. I have served on the ADSBS board and also as President. I strongly support the South African Breed Standards and am a Qualified Dorper Judge. We have been importing genetics since 1999 from Australia and have been a member of LambPlan since that date. I feel that objective performance measurement is crucial to the continuing improvement

those standards has a purpose based upon years of trial and error. If we as a breed association continue to adhere to those guidelines, we will continue to see success in the breed shows, in market lamb and carcass competitions, and most importantly in the commercial sheep industry. Our country still has a very high percentage of imported lamb. I believe the Dorper and White Dorper breeds stand poised to replace the need for imported lamb with certified Dorper lamb meat. We have many intelligent and capable people within the breed already who are working to bring their ideas to life by promoting the Dorper lamb brand. I would like the opportunity to work with fellow board members as well as those who are on the front line to expand our markets. I believe if we can move forward with a united effort, we can truly become not only a leader in the sheep industry, but in the US meats industry as a whole. It never hurts to dream big. And finally, I would like to talk some about the American Dorper Sheep Breeders’ Society as an organization. I have never met a group of livestock breeders who have been more welcoming and helpful than the great Dorper breeders I have gotten to know from across the country. I don’t see a lot of fierce competition and hiding of so-called “trade secrets”. Time and time again I have seen major breeders gladly share any information needed to help someone else with gaining information about their Dorpers whether it be with breeding, feeding, health care, and even in the show ring. I have heard breeders of some of the traditional sheep breeds comment at the shows that the Dorper folks all help each other out and seem to genuinely like each other. It is like a breath of fresh air to hear such comments. That genuine care and concern for fellow breeders has been quite evident this year alone as we have seen a number of our members who have had to deal with serious health issues. To see the outpouring of prayers, support, and encouragement from Dorper breeders around the country has been an inspiration and I know a blessing to those who have had the struggles. I would welcome the opportunity to help continue that spirit of caring and

building each up as we work together to promote the Dorper breed. Success with Dorpers can be realized in many different ways, whether it is in the bank account, in the show ring, building the character of young people, growing family relationships by working together, or simply enjoying seeing a beautiful set of sheep when you look out over your pasture, ranch, or farm. A couple of my broad goals as a board member would be to help as many people as possible find success with their Dorper flock and to help us work together as an association in a united effort to promote what we already know to be the best breed out there. Thank you for your consideration and may God bless each of you, your family, and your flock.

of the Dorper breed, be it show or commercial, and encourage the use of NSIP for our members. If anyone wants to question me in more depth, or has anything they want to communicate, my email is: [email protected]. I would appreciate your support to be elected once again to the board of the best sheep breed in the world.

Judi MaultIndian Valley, Idaho

I am located in Indian Valley, Idaho, a small town where I have been raising dorper sheep at the Lazy J Ranch for the past 15 years. Originally I got involved with these sheep while training border collies, but observed the outstanding qualities of the dorper and soon acquired my first registered fullblood animals. I still train and compete with my border collies, but my focus has turned to this breed of sheep. The Lazy J Ranch has become a frequent stopping point for travelers and tourists interested in exploring a ranch life style environment. During the years I have partnered with the University of Idaho’s veterinary program, and have held lambing clinics at the Lazy J. At least twice a year the veterinary teaching staff hold ultrasound clinics here to apply hands on techniques with the graduating vets. In addition to the value these clinics provide to the doctors, it also exposes many people to the breed of sheep they may not be aware of. The vet students also come to the ranch to assist me during lambing. Prior to moving to Idaho we lived on a small ranch in northern California. I worked in Quincy, California as a phlebotomist, paralegal and retired as the Director of the State of California Child Support Services. I have



volunteered on the boards of many organizations. I have produced many events such as the Palm Springs Golf Tournament, State of California Annual Conference, horse shows and sheep/cattle dog trials for 15 years. I currently own the Lazy J Ranch Bed and Breakfast Inn. I believe the show industry is an important marketing tool for the breed, however we must assist the commercial breeder to promote the dorper’s delicate taste and educate the consumer. Grocery stores, chefs and the public need to taste dorper lamb. The Breed was imported to the US for their commercial utility and these values must not change. Dorpers must be judged based on the BREED STANDARDS. There are many important decisions this board will make in the next few years and I hope to include the membership’s view points. Please contact me at any time to discuss upcoming issues. Call 208 741-0237. I hope to represent the large and small breeders of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society throughout the United States.

Keeland NixMountain Grove, Missouri

My name is Keeland Nix. My family operates Deer Run Ranch north of Mountain Grove, MO in the Ozark hills. We have raised Dorper sheep for 16 years and have acquired part of my dad’s small White Dorper flock a couple of summers ago. Many of you have not met my wife, Lacy, as she calls herself the official chore doer while our daughters Payton, Rylan and myself are on the road at the shows and sales. I am an agricultural education teacher

at Mountain Grove Schools and also serving as the FFA Advisor. I have been involved with purebred livestock since the early ‘90’s, when my younger brother and I purchased our first registered Gelbvieh heifers for our FFA project. I was highly involved with the American Gelbvieh Jr. Association serving on the junior board of directors for two years. Lacy and I purchased a small farm in Mountain Grove; I looked for an efficient, highly muscled small ruminant to run on our limited grass. Dorper sheep fit the bill. Our flock has grown from a handful of ewes to approximately 70 head. Dorpers have taken my family all over the country for shows or sales, meeting lots of folks along the way. It is always fascinating to hear the diverse environments that Dorper sheep can flourish. I look forward to each show/sale and meeting new people (even though now most people know me as Payton or Rylan’s dad). I am humbled to be nominated for the Board of Directors as the ADSBS continues to grow in membership and animals registered/transferred. I think that continuation and growth of junior programs is important for the positive growth of the society. Usually, if kids get involved, parents are soon to follow. I have heard many stories start out, “We started a flock of sheep as a 4-H/FFA project and the kids graduated, but we just couldn’t sell the flock”. Increasing opportunities for leadership and industry exploration with the juniors should be a high priority for the society. I appreciate the society helping the small breeders showcase their genetics through ADSBS sponsored sales like Duncan, OK and Cookeville, TN. I would support looking into more avenues of similar sales, whether online or live auctions to help market Dorper genetics in other regions of the country. I appreciate the opportunity to run for the ADSBS Board of Directors. Past board members have been very open to new ideas or changes to old ideas to make them fit the industry and I look forward to visiting with new and old friends about the future of the Dorper breeds in the American sheep industry.

Justin RansomWest Fork, Arkansas

I am honored to have been nominated to serve on the Board of Directors of ADSBS. I fostered my passion for agriculture and livestock by growing up in it, raising cattle and growing wheat in TX and OK. I was active in 4-H and FFA and served as a Texas FFA Vice President in the early 90s. While earning my undergrad at Texas Tech University, I was on the competitive meat and livestock judging teams, and ultimately found my interest in the food industry. After a brief stint as embryo technologist, I earned my Masters and Ph.D. in Animal Science with a focus in Meat Science and Food Safety, respectively from Michigan State and Colorado State Universities. My first job out of college was at USDA Agricultural Marketing Service as an International Marketing Specialist, where I supported trade teams post-BSE and helped validate the new automated beef grading system.

Hello, my name is Brad Roeder. I currently live in Fredericksburg, Texas with my wife Tiffany and our two children Brylie and Brodie. With My parents Billy & Betty Roeder and my brother Brian we manage the Dorpers at Roeder Ranch. Currently I am employed by TAMU AgriLife Extension Service and serve as the County Agent in Gillespie County. Our Dorper interests are varied and broad. Currently the kids show at the majority of the Texas breeding shows and also show market lambs & goats. We raise approx. 90% of the animals we show. We currently run 250 Dorpers, 100 goats and 100 Southdowns. We also have a herd of 200 commercial dorper ewes and 30 cow calf pairs. In our downtime I enjoy training dogs and

hunting. If elected I will do my best to represent all Dorper breeders across the US. Most people will know us from the showring, but the commercial Dorper is the backbone of our industry.

In 2017 I moved to Northwest Arkansas and joined the Tyson team leading Sustainability Strategy as part of the enterprise strategy for beef, pork and chicken, as we work to raise the worlds expectations for how much good food can do. In West Fork, AR we started a family and are building a farm which has allowed my wife Jennifer and I to expand RR Dorpers to a second location while both still enjoying our careers. My dad Bob Ransom started raising Dorpers in mid-2000’s and I purchased my first ewe from Riverwood Farms in 2009. Our focus has been developing our flock of [primarily fullblood] Dorpers to be the best they can be. I found my interest in Dorpers because they are functional sheep which explains why they are the fastest growing breed in the US. I will encourage and support the board in looking for ways to help producers be more profitable, including working with producers to try to help them find ways to increase the value of Dorper lamb regionally and nationally.Thank you for your consideration.

The commercial rancher is self-employed. He pays taxes, utilities, mortgages, etc. Add government regulations and the cost of living, and today’s rancher is walking a thin line between profit and loss. A good shepherd won’t keep ewes who regularly single, or unthrifty ewes that lose lambs. The good shepherd culls those ewes since they are not cost effective. Part time ranchers must watch the bottom line as well. Rain or shine the needs of the flock come first. If you have ewes needing assistance during lambing, you lose sleep or lambs. The rancher prefers to lose sleep and save the lambs. If you call the vet, it’s money out of your pocket. If you don’t call the vet and the animal dies, it’s money out of your pocket. Vaccinating is money out of your pocket, not vaccinating and losing sheep to disease is money out of your pocket. If the lambs don’t gain weight, you guessed it – money out of your pocket. We have now established that livestock can be a risky business. When you add in predator losses you face disaster. A rancher has productive ewes that twin each year. His ewes raise an average 1.5 lambs per ewe to sale age. He provides strong rams to ensure the lambs have good genetic potential. His feeding, worming, and vaccination program is up to date. He watches carefully during lambing season. He calls the vet for any medical emergency he can’t handle. His management practices are good. He should be on track to make a profit every year. But there are several things he has no control over. Weather is one. Too little rain and the grass doesn’t grow. To much rain and pastures flood. Another loss factor is predators. Wild predators kill for food. This is understandable to the rancher. Stray dogs running loose are not. To most dogs nothing is more fun than chasing sheep. Caught up in the chase, dogs bite at the running sheep’s legs and flanks. The sheep are left bleeding on the ground. A friend of mine lost 30 pregnant ewes in one night. Four injured sheep out of three dozen survived, the vet bill was huge, the financial loss devastating. The rancher knows his animals. Seeing them dead or suffering on the ground sickens and angers him. The financial cost is terrible. Beyond the replacement price of each animal, he loses time. Shepherds choose replacement keeper ewes for their ability to lamb twins or triplets easily, milk well, and rear heavy lambs without a problem.

Building a good flock can take years. No one wants to lose profitable brood ewes. The loss of such ewes and future offspring represents a huge financial blow to the rancher. Replacement of one mature production ewe impacts the rancher’s slim budget. The loss of many can break him. He will have to start over and lose a year’s production. During this time, he will have to feed, worm, vaccinate, etc. Once the new ewes start lambing, he will have to cull them for those that consistently produce twins and rear heavy lambs for sale. He may cull half his new ewes to get a flock similar to the one he lost. During these years he is at risk of losing his business and his home. It is no wonder that animal attacks rank high on the rancher’s hate list. In the past 30 years we have seen an influx of suburbanites trending out to the country. This doesn’t mean they want to ranch or farm. They have city jobs, or careers to which they commute. Sometimes they work from home. They are not dependent on the income from their farms. They own smaller properties, sometimes with horses, sometimes with a few pet goats, sheep, and chickens. Sometimes they just like the idea of having a large property. They usually have dogs. City people look at the empty fields and assume that their dogs can roam freely. Why fence in their dogs with all that space to run? Unfortunately, those sweet family dogs, so good with the kids have a dark side when they meet sheep. Beyond the picturesque tree line on the other side of the newcomer’s property is a field of sheep. To dogs these fluffy white things are a delightful opportunity for play. Their first run at the sheep causes the sheep to move away. Some flocks have been trained with herding dogs. They are not afraid although they may be puzzled by the behavior of these dogs. The second run causes uneasiness and they move faster. By the third pass the sheep are fleeing in terror from dogs biting at their legs and flanks. Hours later the dogs return home and sleep. Their owners may not even have missed them. Back in the field the rancher is discovering what is left of his bred ewes. Red and white carcasses lie strewn across the green grass. Some are still alive, but not for long. The farmer has not only lost a large portion of his income for this year, next year, and several years in the future, but taken a

sizeable financial hit as well. He calls the County Agent and Sheriff to report the attacks. Both take reports and pictures. The dogs, if caught, are under a death sentence. Federal and state laws mandate that livestock killers be put down. If the dogs can be identified, the owners are liable for the price of the dead animals. A few days later the dogs remember the fun they had and go off again. This time the field is deserted, but the wind carries the scent of the animals they enjoyed chasing before. The dogs set off to find more playmates. There are more fields with sheep in this ranch community. At the next pasture sheep are also grazing. They are protected by guardian dogs. The playful dogs advance on the field, but they do not get the chance to chase the sheep. Before they can enter the field, the guardian dog on duty appears at the fence line barking. The newcomers are not intimidated, perhaps these dogs will play with them in their exciting new game. As they approach, the guardians increase their threat behavior. Their large size and unwelcoming manner cause the visiting dogs to reconsider. With the flock guardians watching carefully, the dogs, tails wagging, trot on their way to the next pasture. These sheep do not have a guardian but this time the dogs are not so lucky. News, both good and bad, travels fast in the country. Alerted by the rancher who lost his sheep several days ago, neighboring farmers are keeping a close eye on their flocks. This shepherd, alerted by his neighbor to sheep killers on the loose, has taken his rifle with him as he works nearby. Most ranchers are good shots. The dogs do not return home. Again, the sheriff is called out. The dogs wear identification. When the sheriff calls on the dog owners they are upset. Their dogs are quiet family pets. There must be a mistake. Their children start to cry. The owners demand the sheriff arrest the rancher for murdering their pets. Instead, the sheriff, with the farmer’s statement, photos of the dead sheep, bodies of the dogs, and ID tags as evidence, cites the owners. Shocked and horrified, they are summoned to court to pay for the losses. Between the first flock and the second (before the rancher could get to his rifle) the dog owners are aghast to find they owe thousands of dollars in damages. This scenario is actually good for the ranchers. The dogs have been killed, the owners identified, and damages recovered. But this is a rarity. Most owners that let their dogs roam don’t tag or microchip them. The rancher has taken a loss of income for several years and must replace his flock. The replacement money is minor compared to what he has lost. Stray dogs in working livestock areas are usually shot on sight. Guardian dogs provide protection 24/7. Current laws restrict methods of predator control. Government reintroduction of large predators has taken place in many states. Wildlife activists demand reintroduction in many more. Government reluctance to issue permits to remove predators is concerning to many

livestock producers. Ranchers keep their flocks on pasture, especially in the spring when the grass is lush. Spring is the time when lambs arrive. Ewes convert nice green grass to rich milk. Lambs convert rich milk to meat. The rancher converts that meat to dollars. Spring is also the time when coyotes, cougars and wolves have their young. Those babies need to be fed too, but not nice green grass. Coyotes, cougars, and wolves convert lambs to nice rich milk for their cubs and kittens. Today’s sheep producers have turned to other methods of protection. One of the most effective is the use of guardian dogs. Studies were begun in the 70’s by the Idaho Sheep Experimental Station and various Universities into a protection method used for thousands of years. Everywhere man wandered with flocks and herds varieties of livestock guardian dogs were developed to suit the climate and topography. These early flock guardians have developed through the centuries into today’s many livestock guardian breeds. Livestock guardian dogs have proven their effectiveness in deterring predators and curtailing livestock losses. All guardian dogs are large, powerful animals. They weigh well over 100 lbs. Some have long hair, some have short hair, but all have double coats. The inner coat is soft and warm, the outer coat is harsh and designed to repel water and snow. These dogs are designed by nature’s selection to be protected from cold, rain, heat, and thorns as they go about their business. Early flock guardians meant the difference between food and starvation, today they may make the difference between solvency and bankruptcy. Each breed has a different approach to the job. Some guard self-determined perimeters, others the individual flock, some have soft gentle temperaments towards all humans, while others are sharp to the point of viciousness if approached by strangers. Guarding their masters’ flocks is their business and they take it seriously. Properly selected and trained livestock guardian dogs can cut predator losses to nothing. This is good news to any sheep producer since sheep are easy prey animals. When a perceived threat approaches, the first warning is the appearance of a massive dog, barking loudly. Often their mere size is enough deterrent. The second warning is a growling announcement that the predator proceeds at their peril. Usually this will convince the predator to go elsewhere. If the predator is so stupid or desperate as to enter the pasture, the guardian will try hard to kill it. They are very efficient. Their heavy coat acts like armor protecting them from the teeth and claws of their enemies. Their loose skin enables them to twist in the mouth of their enemy and bite back. Their large size, powerful jaws and teeth, and utter devotion to their charges make them a very efficient weapon. In the case of wild predators, this method works very well. Wild predators rely on stealth to kill their food. If their presence is announced to the neighborhood by the livestock guardian, it limits their chances of a kill. Wild animals understand that injury can mean death. An injured animal can’t hunt or defend itself. They do not engage in battles with other animals very often. A show of strength is

usually all that occurs to settle a dispute. Larger animals drive smaller predators off their kills or out of their territory with threats. Coyotes are smaller than a guardian dog and usually will not chance a fight one on one. A cougar can match a guardian dog in size but relies on stealth to capture prey. The loud warnings of the guardian dog often cause it to retreat and change its hunting pattern to avoid the guardian’s territory. In areas where wolf packs, cougars, and bears are common predators, the rancher relies on several dogs in each enclosure to guard his livestock. Multiple guardian dogs work as a team. When there are two dogs and a predator or predators approach the flock, one dog advances to meet the threat. The second dog drops back as a second line of defense. Predators are wily. While cougar and bear hunt alone, pack hunters are known to send in a scout to lure a guardian out. While the guardian chases off the intruder the rest of the pack drives off and kills the targeted animal. By dropping back to the flock, the second dog is on hand to foil this trick. The second dog’s alarm bark will bring the first dog hurrying back to assist in defending the flock. Guardian dogs move slowly around their charges. A running dog disturbs the flock, causing them to mill and panic. A run at the flock is what predators do to cut out their prey. Guardians move calmly around their flock without alarming them. A person watching their unhurried progress

may think they will be slow or clumsy. This would be a mistake. These large dogs have a speed that is amazing. They can almost outrun a greyhound for short bursts. By the time a predator has managed to reach its prey, the guardian dog is on top of him. The wise predator runs for his life. The unwise predator is dead. In the case of some guardian dogs, they move the flock to safety before investigating a threat. The sheep learn to watch their guardian and will run to them if frightened. Often the rancher doesn’t see any predators. Some may think they have wasted their money buying a guardian dog. My question is “Have you lost any livestock?” The answer is usually “No”, and my response is “Then the dog is doing his job”. Sometimes the only intimation that the rancher has of an attack is a dead predator in the field. If predators are so abundant or aggressive that the defense from one dog is not enough, additional guardian dogs need to be added. Having too few dogs for the predator load risks both the flock and the guardian. Sweet and friendly with its owners, the livestock guardian dog can change in an instant to a powerful and dangerous protector. It will not back down until the threat is removed. These dogs have been prized for thousands of years, and those of us who own them recognize their value to the livestock industry.

from the desk of ADSBS Youth CoordinatorHappy Fall! This summer has been a whirlwind of youth activities, even with the restricted state of our world now. In this report you will find show results from events that our youth members competed at. A big congratulations to all of them on representing our breeds and for a job well done. This year we held three education events for youth across the county. These events were held in Cameron Texas during the Chisholm Trail “Back to our Roots” show, The Southern States Show & Sale in Cookeville, Tennessee and at the Western States Dorper Association Show & Sale in Reno, Nevada. The events were a huge hit and reports back were that the kids and parents enjoyed them. A special thank you to ALL the volunteers

who helped to put these events on for our youth members! We are hoping to continue this tradition next year and possibly add more. Your youth board has been meeting via conference call and in person to discuss future activities for our junior membership. They would love to hear from you, if you have a suggestion, feel free to email me and I will forward to our junior board. For the latest youth info don’t forget to follow us on Facebook! Additionally, in this issue is the 2021 t-shirt contest form. These shirts will only be available at specific events across the country via PRE-ORDER so keep watch on the website, the report and our junior FB page.

The 4th annual Chisholm Trail Dorper Futurity Sale and Youth event was a huge success with 156 total sheep entered and 48 youth exhibitors. Participants, like showman Avery Walton, said that throughout the weekend she enjoyed and experienced lots of educational opportunities through contest and clinics. Our judge for the youth show, Sarah Brister, did an amazing job Friday by presenting a special showmanship session for the youth exhibitors. After the clinic, the youth were split into four age groups and competed in market and breeding showmanship. In addition to this, we also held several educational stations that youth rotated through throughout the day. Amanda Foust gave a presentation on basic

feed and nutrition along with a station led by Krissy McDaniel and Nathan Butler teaching exhibitors how to correctly fit and prepare their Dorper sheep for the show ring. Along with stations, this year we also held a Sheep Skill-a-thon on Friday morning for exhibitors to compete in. The participants rotated through five stations identifying feed samples, cuts of meat, lamb equipment, sheep breeds, and samples of wool. Even though this was our first year offering this great educational contest we had 42 youth participants. Saturday morning, we held a sheep production show. There were nine entries in this show. These entries were judged based on a live show, a record book prepared by the exhibitor, as well as an interview. Youth Production Show ~ Senior Production: 1. Kiersten Reed 2. Kiersten Reed 3.

The 3rd annual West Texas Fair & Rodeo Dorper Breeding Show, hosted by the Chisholm Trail Youth Dorper Association, was a huge success with 298 total sheep entered in the youth and open shows. Our judge for the youth show was Marty Gibbs, and the open show was Sarah Brister. Sarah also had a showmanship clinic for the youth on Saturday evening which was for exhibitors of all ages including our new “tiny pee wee” division. The association was able to give the youth an amazing number of prizes for their participation this weekend thanks to our generous sponsors. Banners and beautiful metal buckle holders for all grand and reserve champions, ribbons for the group classes, and trophies for flocks and best pair of sheep.
