Which breed is recognized as the largest white-faced breed in the United States?

The largest white-faced breed in the United States is the Dorset breed. Dorsets are known for their distinctive white faces and are recognized for their good meat quality and reproductive efficiency. This breed can breed out of season, making them unique among sheep breeds, which is an advantage for farmers looking to optimize lambing times. Dorsets tend to have a stocky build, contributing to their size relative to other breeds. They produce sturdy lambs with high market value, making them a popular choice among sheep producers.

Other breeds, while they may have some white face characteristics, do not match the size or the overall qualities of the Dorset when it comes to white-faced breeds in the U.S.
