Become a Dohne Commercial Member

“Becoming a member is easy and beneficial to your business”

As an existing or potential breeder of Dohnes, commercial membership
is a very inexpensive way of exposing yourself and your business to both
historical and up to date information about this versatile and productive
breed.
Since the introduction of the Dohne to Australia in 1998, from South Africa,
the breed has seen constant growth. The most recent MLA sheep
breed survey showed that Dohnes have an influence in over 20% of the
Australian sheep flock.
The Dohne Council and Stud Breeders work tirelessly for breed improvement.
Council is working on promotion of the breed and implementing
industry networks to obtain the best possible financial returns for the
sheep and lamb produce you work so hard to produce.
