There’s more to the Sleepy Sheep Ranch than just cattle herding and trail rides. The Sleepy Sheep Ranch produces the highest quality all natural lamb meat around. The family-run farm specializes in raising quality fed lamb meat and breeding stock. That’s because at Sleepy Sheep Ranch, they raise Dorper sheep.

“The Dorper sheep graze on the more than 300 acres of rich, green Texas pasture land and hay fields,” says Dave of Sleepy Sheep Ranch. “The breed produces lambs that are ideal as foundation animals.”

The sheep at Sleepy Sheep Ranch become great base animals that can pass on the required genes for the quality meat products. The lambs feed on grass and hay which results in not only high quality but nutritious meat.

“We want only the best for our customers,” says Dave of Sleepy Sheep Ranch. “Many five star restaurants serve our lamb and are very happy with the results.”

So you may be wondering what makes Dorper sheep different from other breeds. It is a hard to find breed which makes demand for the meat very high. But that’s not the most important thing to Sleepy Sheep Ranch. The sheep are calmer and easier to handle than other breeds, so they require less maintenance. Dorper sheep also don’t produce a fleece, eliminating any need for shearing. Most importantly, they are parasite-resistant. That means the Dorpers don’t need periodic chemical de-worming additives, making them a healthier and more natural choice.

“The lamb I bought was the perfect cut of meat,” says Rachel Meade. “I have never tasted something so delicious before. I will definitely be reordering from Sleepy Sheep Ranch.”
