Ranch 7

Ranch 7 breeds Dorper sheep in Dale, TX, across Caldwell County and the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio.

Raul Cuevas has been raising Dorper sheep for over a decade and follows recommended health protocols including routine hoof trimming, vaccination, and parasite control measures. The flock grazes year-round on managed pastures, rotating fields to follow seasonal forage growth, with clean water and sturdy shelter available day and night. Breeding records are kept for every ewe and lamb to monitor lineage, growth rates, and health history.

Operations focus on sustainable grazing, rotating pastures to maintain soil fertility and forage quality, supporting both animal wellness and land stewardship. Raul has refined the flock over generations to enhance hardiness and mothering ability, resulting in sheep known locally for their calm temperament, robust condition, and suitability for meat production or breeding stock.
