Ace In The Hole Ranch

Ace In The Hole Ranch, Romney sheep, Myers Flat, CA, operates in Humboldt County and the Redwood Coast near Eureka. The ranch owner, Ace Vandenack, has been raising Romney sheep for over a decade and follows recommended health testing protocols while maintaining compliance with breed association guidelines.

Lambs are handled daily to foster calm temperaments and ease routine care, making herd health checks and shearing more efficient. Surrounding oak woodlands and grassy meadows offer diverse forage, contributing to robust growth and fiber development. Visitors and local fiber artists often comment on the quality of the wool and the gentle nature of the animals during farm tours.
