My name is Emily Vincent and my sheep business is known as Two Rock Ranch. I began with a smallflock of White Dorpers in 2009 in Petaluma, California. In 2013, my husband and I moved to upstate New York to be near his family. Until quite recently I was the only Registered White Dorper breeder in the Northeast. In 2021 I grew my flock from 300 to over 400 head with the acquisition of the Yucca Lily flock from Jean and Mike Sudderth. It was more of a passing of a legacy than a purchase and I am so honored that they entrusted the last, most precious of their Fullblood and Purebred bloodlines to me. I support breed preservation and improvement.
I am a full-time White Dorper lamb meat producer. I believe that the Branded Dorper Meat label will be important to our breed in the future and it is a complicated process. We cannot make this cost-prohibitive to commercial farmers (like requiring registrations), but at the same time we need quality control measures so that the Dorper brand does not suffer. I ardently support a branded Dorper Lamb label and will do everything I can to help this endeavour. I support Dorper-specific advertising and marketing to reach other sheep breeders (especially commercial breeders). Ultrasounding loin eye, NSIP, and EBV’s, and supporting parasite resistance studies through Texas A&M AgriLife Sheep and Goat Extension with the help of Jake Thorne would also be good for the Dorper breed. I support bringing the breed forward through scientific and industry advances.
In my previous careers, I have worked 15 years in the business world through marketing and business management for Fortune 500 companies in Canada and the USA. I also served in both California and New York as a Registered Nurse in the Critical Care ICU.I have worked with a variety of people across a variety of platforms, beliefs, and political backgrounds and believe that diversity makes a team stronger! The Dorper Society is vital to my livelihood and the decisions made by the Board directly impact my job, my breed, and my future as a farmer as well as yours. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have! It takes every member on a team and I firmly believe that we all want to see this breed succeed!
