Jernigan Ranch

Jernigan Ranch, a family-run operation, breeds Dorper sheep in Iraan, TX, West Texas near Odessa. It has raised Dorper sheep for several years, follows recommended health testing protocols to support flock health, and implements basic biosecurity measures on the property.

Each member of the flock grazes on open pasture with shelter available in the ranch’s barns and shade structures. Lambs are handled daily and socialized from a young age to develop gentle temperaments. Winter bedding and supplemental feeding support the flock through cooler months while rotational grazing maintains hoof and parasite health. Vaccinations and routine hoof trimming are part of the herd health program.

Based on local customer feedback, Jernigan Ranch sheep are noted for consistent growth rates and robust constitution suited to diverse pastures. The management team ensures individual attention for each lamb to support uniform quality across the flock.
