O.C. Childress Ranch

O.C. Childress Ranch raises Romney sheep in Mineola, TX, serving Wood County and the Piney Woods near Tyler. With more than a decade of experience, the ranch is part of the National Sheep Improvement Program and follows regular health testing for parasite resistance and clostridial vaccinations. Animals live on open pasture with daily interaction and early handling to build calm, confident flock members.

The ranch emphasizes low-stress routines, rotational grazing and balanced nutrition drawn from regional forage, complemented by shelter in sturdy barns during extreme weather. Janet Kepley brings a lifelong passion for sustainable farming and often shares insights on breeding selection, wool quality and lambing techniques. Careful record-keeping supports ongoing improvement in fleece density and mothering instincts, reflecting the ranch’s commitment to responsible stewardship. Over the years a handful of lambs have earned recognition at regional fairs for fleece uniformity and fiber micron count. Neighbors often comment on the gentle temperament of the shepherded flocks and the thoughtful approach that underpins each breeding season.
