Pioneer VanDyck Ranch

Pioneer VanDyck Ranch is a Dorper sheep breeder in Chickasha, OK, in Central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. Clark Van Dyck has raised Dorper sheep for well over ten years and maintains regular health checks with fecal exams and hoof trimming.

Sheep live on open pastures with seasonal shelters and benefit from daily observations by family members who help ensure early intervention in any health concerns. Lambs are socialized from birth and handled gently during feeding to foster trust and ease of management. The breed’s hardiness shines through in local performance trials where docile temperaments and efficient weight gain are appreciated by both meat and fiber producers. This family operation draws on years of ranching tradition and emphasizes sustainable grazing practices to preserve pastures. Consistency in breeding goals and open communication with local agricultural networks help Pioneer VanDyck Ranch contribute to healthy flocks across the region.
