Elite Ram Trade-In Program
Why This Program Exists
True genetic progress never stops. Our goal is to help breeders maintain elite, fast-moving, competitive flocks every season.
Program Benefits
✅ Trade toward higher-value rams
✅ Maintain elite genetic momentum
✅ Maximize flock performance & pedigree power
✅ One of the first programs of its kind in the Dorper industry
Eligibility
To qualify for the trade-in program, the ram must be:
• Originally purchased from Bluestem Dorpers (on farm or at a registered sale)
• Returned in good health and body condition
• Registered in the original buyer’s name or Bluestem Dorpers
Transportation costs are the buyer’s responsibility.
How It Works
1️⃣ Bring back your Bluestem ram in good condition
2️⃣ Select a ram of equal or higher value
3️⃣ Apply trade-in credit toward your upgrade
4️⃣ Pay the difference only if trading up
No cash refunds — this program is built for progress, not liquidation.
