Dorper sheep rearing is gaining traction in Nakuru due to the breed's hardiness, rapid growth, and good meat quality.
Originally from South Africa, Dorpers have adapted well to Kenya's climate, especially in semi-arid regions.
Their ability to thrive on minimal feed, coupled with their fast maturity and high lambing frequency, makes them a profitable choice for commercial sheep farming.
The county government of Nakuru has chipped in to bridge the gap in the growing demand for Dorper sheep parent stock and through its livestock breeds improvement programme is distributing Dorper rams to enhance sheep breeds and productivity in the region.
