Providing High-Quality Dorper Lamb Meat
At Texas Dorper Lamb From Terrapin Farms, our business is to provide our customers with excellent products. We offer 100% Dorper Lamb meat, and as we like to say, Dorper is to Lamb, what Angus is to Beef!
People have taste-tested the Dorper meat and liked it better than lamb from other breeds of sheep. Dorpers do not grow a long wool coat, so they don't produce much lanolin, nor have a thick fat layer to nourish wool growth. This means that their meat is leaner and healthier!
Lamb meat is a flavorful, nutrient-rich food and an excellent source of protein, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, niacin, zinc and selenium. Lamb is a high-quality protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids your body needs for growth and maintenance.
Our Dorper lambs are less than a year old when they reach 100-110 pounds. By this age intra-muscular marbling has developed, so they are very tender, but young enough to not be at all "musky". And, with less fat at a younger age, there is less waste in processing to the final cuts.
Lambs stay with their mothers until they are weaned and continue to pasture in family groups. They are not placed in feedlots or forced to consume a predominantly corn- or grain-based diet to fatten up at the end of their life. Instead, they eat grass solely from our farm, along with a high-vitamin & mineral multi-grain supplement for a balanced diet. We honor them and the purpose in their lives by giving them excellent care and gentle handling.

Process for Ordering and Shipping
Complete the form below, to request specific cuts of lamb. Once we receive your request, I will send you an email to let you know what weight of those cuts are currently available, and their prices. I will then need a response from you committing to the order for it to be ready for the next step. Please include in that email that you wish the order to be shipped, and provide the shipping address, so I can calculate the shipping cost.
Within Texas, "ground" shipping less than 10 pounds with a carrier (USPS or FedEx) can usually be delivered withing one day, so we can keep the shipping cost low. However, outside of Texas, shipping costs are much, much higher. I will email you a total cost invoice you can pay online.
