Juan Antonio Valenciana

Juan Antonio Valenciana breeds Dorper sheep at a family-run farm in Dale, TX, serving Kerr County and the Hill Country near San Antonio. He has more than a decade of experience and maintains membership in the American Dorper Sheep Society, with routine health screenings for every animal.

His flock is rotated across open pastures to promote healthy grazing patterns, and lambs spend early weeks in close contact with family members to build calm temperaments. All sheep live in a well-ventilated barn with continuous access to shade, mineral supplements, and fresh water.

Seed-stock evaluations and participation at local fairs have shaped his herd selection, leading to steady improvements in growth rates and fleece quality. Careful attention goes to traits like fertility and structural soundness to support long-term flock health, and owners often comment on the sheep’s gentle nature and reliable performance under pasture-based systems.
