JK Ranch

JK Ranch, Dorper sheep breeders in Tehachapi, California, are located in Kern County near Bakersfield. They have been breeding Dorper sheep for several seasons under a family-run model, participate in national sheep associations, and conduct routine health screenings, including parasite control and fertility assessments, to ensure flock wellness and reproductive success.

Their approach to husbandry emphasizes rotational grazing on native grasses, supplemented by mineral-balanced feed and access to sheltered barns during hot summers or cold snaps. Lambs are introduced to early handling sessions to build social confidence, and ewes are carefully selected each year for strong maternal instincts and ease of lambing.

Over time, lambs from the ranch have earned recognition for consistent weight gain and gentle disposition, attributes valued by family farms and community flocks. The ranch landscape, framed by rolling hills and open skies, provides a calm environment that both sheep and visitors appreciate. The Mckinzie family draws on decades of rural heritage to foster a connection between the land, the animals, and ethical production values.
