Modern Ranchera

Modern Ranchera raises Dorper sheep in Deridder, LA, southwest Louisiana near Lake Charles. Modern Ranchera has been raising Dorper sheep for several years and follows recommended health testing protocols while maintaining registrations with recognized sheep associations. The flock grazes on rotational pasture managed for forage diversity, and lambs enjoy early hands-on socialization to foster calm temperaments in a family-oriented setting.

Owners focus on low-stress handling, balanced conformation and strong maternal traits, aligning with standard guidelines for the breed. The ranch operation blends traditional livestock care with attention to modern animal welfare practices, and each sheep receives regular veterinary oversight. Over its tenure on the property, the family has built a quiet, pasture-based environment that supports both flock health and soil conservation. Visitors often comment on the herd’s calm nature and the ranch’s welcoming atmosphere. Through careful selection and pasture rotation, they aim to enhance animal resilience while respecting land stewardship principles.
