Special Place Ranch

Special Place Ranch, Shetland sheep breeder in Mabank, TX, operates in Henderson County near Dallas. Owned by Megan Skinner, the family-run farm follows recognized health testing protocols and records pedigrees through national sheep association standards. A small flock grazes on rotational pasture across rolling fields, with sheltered barns providing protection during extreme weather.

Lambs benefit from daily handling and gentle socialization, which helps shape calm temperaments and ease integration into new homes. Feeding combines high-quality forage with balanced minerals to support fleece development and overall well-being. The ranch emphasizes consistent fleece texture and coloration, working closely with weavers and handspinners in the area to align breeding goals. Prospective owners appreciate open communication about each animal’s background, including birth history and care routines, before finalizing an adoption. The ranch practices sustainable land management to maintain pasture health and local biodiversity.
