Etiwanda is located near Cobar in the semi-arid Western Dvision of NSW, Australia.  Our annual rainfall is approximately 400mm or 16 inches and has been as low as 4 inches in 2001. It is a hot, dry extensive environment - well suited to the running of White Dorpers and White Dorper cross sheep.

You can be assured of animals that are unpapmpered and ready to survive, along with the highest integrity and honesty from the family who run them.

Etiwanda White Dorpers currently runs 500 classified (by South African Classers) Stud Fullblood ewes. We are focusing on rapidly expanding Fullblood numbers and quality, aiming to run 1000+ Fullblood ewes  by 2009. We are increasing numbers through the use of embryo transfer and natural breeding. We have imported embryos from Dries Weiss “Kasteel White Dorper Stud” for the past three years, implanting over 400 Kasteel embryos in the last two years. Please see SIRES page for more genetic information.
