Welcome to Cromar Sheep & Pigs - specialist white dorper sheep breeders
We are specialist breeders of white Dorper sheep. Originally from South Africa the Dorper sheep has many benefits, they only shed once a year making shearing unnecessary, they have a very early maturing rate, are known for their climate hardiness, have a very calm disposition and produce a lean meat which is very mild in flavour
We also breed Lleyn sheep and Mangalitza pigs, a curly coated pig renowned for its outstanding flavour, perfect for the production of Parma ham.
Cromar Sheep & Pigs are situated at Wester Strathweltie Farm, Tarland Aboyne in the renowned Howe O’ Cromar area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The farm is part of the MacRobert Trust and we have been tenants with them for twenty years.
Sited at over seven hundred feet above sea level, the area is well known for the quality of stock it can produce. Because of the harsh winters of cold, wet, snow and frost, the animals farmed here are found to thrive extremely well when moved to lower ground and improved conditions.
