Labastida Ranch

Labastida Ranch, Dorper sheep, San Angelo, TX, in the Concho Valley near Abilene. Santos and Alexandria Labastida are registered members of the American Dorper Sheep Society and participate in annual breed evaluations. Over the past decade they have refined breeding lines with a focus on structural soundness, healthy growth rates and clear health records.

Their flock grazes on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses, which supports natural foraging and helps maintain strong hoof health. Daily handling routines introduce lambs to gentle socialization practices, preparing them for calm interactions and easy acclimation. Each sheep undergoes regular veterinary checkups, foot trimming and nutritional assessments to ensure balanced development and well-being.

The ranch has operated as a family farm on west Texas land for generations, blending regional heritage with attentive husbandry. Local smallholders often comment on the sheep’s reliable temperament and adaptability across diverse pasture conditions.
