Griffin Wood Ranch

Griffin Wood Ranch is a breeder of Katahdin sheep in Cleburne, TX, Johnson County near Fort Worth. Jennie Ballard has been raising sheep for several years and maintains detailed registry records while following health-testing protocols recommended for Katahdin flocks.

The flock grazes on open pasture amid native grasses, and daily interactions help lambs develop a calm, social temperament. Housing includes climate-friendly barns that allow free movement and shelter during storms. The ranch practices rotational grazing to support soil health and a balanced diet, resulting in hardy lambs suited for various farm settings.

Lambs from Griffin Wood Ranch have been featured in local 4-H projects and county shows for their gentle nature and robust health. Barns are cleaned daily, and biosecurity measures help prevent common flock illnesses. Emphasis on pasture diversity includes rotational plantings of rye grass and clover to offer natural forage options.
