About Us
Meet Dorek Farm Founders Stephannes and Cornelia Labuschagne, founders of Dorek Farm
Dorek Farm founders Stephannes and Cornelia Labuschagne were born and raised in South Africa. Stephannes grew up on a farm in Stella, North West Province, with a grandmother who was a very successful sheep farmer. As a well known Île-de-France sheep breeder, his grandmother won most of the prizes at local sheep shows. Stephannes developed a love for farming, but given the situation surrounding farming in South Africa in the post-apartheid era, Stephannes did not want to take the risk of farming in South Africa.
After the family moved to Australia, Stephannes saw that farm life was safe here in Australia and he soon decided to follow in his family footsteps to pursue farming. Stephannes, Cornelia and their children made Muckenburra their home in 2022. The location of Dorek Farm allows them to enjoy all the benefits of farm life while still being within close driving distance to Perth. The family loves the open space, quietness, nature and all the animals with their different sounds they make.
One of the main reasons Stephannes and Cornelia fell in love with the land at Dorek Farm was because of the lake on their property. The large water space creates beautiful sunsets and emits a sense of peace and harmony that the Dorek Camping visitors now also get to enjoy. When the sheep are grazing around the lake, it’s a beautiful sight to behold.
Dorper Studs
Dorek Farm is dedicated to breeding and selling Dorper stud rams and ewes of the highest quality.
What Are Dorper Sheep?
Dorper sheep are a breed of domestic sheep developed in South Africa in the 1930s. The name “Dorper” is derived from the combination of the words “Dorset” and “Persian,” referring to the two breeds that were initially crossed to create the Dorper breed.
Dorper sheep have a distinctive appearance that sets them apart from other breeds. With a black head and white body, they are truly unique. Their bodies are muscular, their hair coats are short (hair sheep breed) and they have well-pigmented skin. Dorper sheep are well-suited for meat production in challenging conditions.
Hardy Sheep
Dorpers are a hardy breed, well-suited to regions with hot, dry climates, where other breeds may struggle to survive and thrive.
Reproductive Efficiency
Dorper ewes are highly fertile and have good mothering abilities, which contributes to their overall productivity.
They can breed out of season and have a high lambing percentage, ensuring a consistent supply of lambs for meat production.
Delicious Meat
Dorper sheep are renowned for producing high-quality, lean meat with excellent flavour and tenderness. The breed is highly valued for its meat production capabilities.
Low Maintenance
Dorper sheep don’t require shearing due to their short, sleek hair coat, which is shed annually. They’re also known for their ability to survive on limited resources and their resistance to certain diseases and parasites. This makes them relatively low-maintenance compared to some other breeds, reducing the need for intensive management practices.
Fast Growth Rate
Dorper lambs are known for their rapid growth rate, which allows them to reach market weight faster than many other breeds.
Adaptability to Different Production Systems
Dorper sheep can be raised in various production systems, including extensive grazing, semi-intensive, and intensive systems, making them versatile for different farming operations.

Several factors contribute to the superior taste and texture of Dorper meat.
All the reasons why Dorper meat should be on your dinner table soon!
High Protein
Firstly, the breed’s unique genetic makeup plays a significant role in determining the quality of its meat. Dorper sheep were selectively bred for their ability to thrive in arid and semi-arid environments.
This adaptation to harsh conditions has resulted in a leaner and more muscular body composition, which translates into meat that is naturally low in fat and high in protein.
Richly Flavoured and Succulent
The diet and grazing habits of Dorper sheep also contribute to the superior taste of their meat.
Dorpers are known for their ability to forage on a wide variety of vegetation, including shrubs and bushes that are often ignored by other breeds. This diverse diet, combined with their efficient digestive system, results in meat that is richly flavoured and succulent.
Low Fat
The short hair coat of Dorper sheep allows them to regulate their body temperature efficiently, reducing the need for excessive fat deposits that can affect your meat quality.
This lean meat is not only healthier but also tends to have a more concentrated flavour and better texture.
Low-Stress = High Quality Meat
Stress-free living conditions and ethical treatment of Dorper sheep play a role in the quality of their meat. When animals are raised in a low-stress environment and handled with care, their meat tends to be more tender and flavorful.
Dorpers are well-adapted to their environment, reducing the need for intensive management practices that can cause stress and negatively impact meat quality.
Highest Quality Meat Processing
The ageing process and proper handling of Dorper meat contribute to its tenderness and flavour. We age our meat for a specific period, allowing natural enzymes to break down the muscle fibres, resulting in a more tender and flavorful product.
