LoKat Ranch, LLC

LoKat Ranch, LLC raises Katahdin sheep in Tatum, TX, in East Texas near Texarkana. It has been involved in breeding for over a decade and maintains membership in national lamb producers associations, with routine health testing and record keeping. The flock is managed on rotational pastures and receives daily handling to ensure calm temperaments and gentle behavior around families.

Blaine Cardinale views husbandry as a blend of traditional grazing practices and attentive care, offering sheltered barns and shade structures through the warm months. Lambs benefit from early socialization in a small group setting and regular hoof and fleece inspections right at the start of each season. They implement cover crop rotations and fall seeding to support pasture health and reduce reliance on external feed.
