Why choose Suidplaas?
Because we work according to our mantra: GENETICS FOR PROFIT. And the results show.
Here how:
Our animals undergo strict selection for fertility under natural conditions.
Suidplaas Dohnes has the highest number of registered ewes in South Africa – so stricter selection criteria can be applied.
Suidplaas Dohnes holds the larges Dohne ram sale in South Africa, so buyers have a wide selection.
We select based on quality, looking for fine merino wool with the emphasis on length. The flock’s total wool clip averages 19.7 microns.
An average lambing percentage of 149% has been maintained over the past 9 years.
Only the top 25% of all tested animals are offered for sale.
RAM & EWE SALES
Suidplaas Dohnes holds the largest Dohne ram sale in South Africa, so buyers have a wide selection.
Dohne breeders from across South Africa and the world travel to the Overberg, near the most southerly tip of Africa, to choose from our wide selection of Dohnes.

The Dohne Merino (Dohne, El Dohne Merino)
The Dohne Merino (Dohne, El Dohne Merino) is a breed of domestic sheep from South Africa. The breed was started in the late 1930s by the South African Department of Agriculture. It was developed by interbreeding Peppin-style Merino ewes and German Mutton Merino rams. The Dohne Merino is a dual purpose breed providing meat and fine wool.
