In 2004 we purchased approximately 16 acres near the small community of Garner, Texas. This great location between Weatherford and Mineral Wells with less than an hour drive to Fort Worth allowed us the opportunity to once again become involved with livestock and border collies. Both of us have livestock backgrounds and Gary had previously trained stockdogs. Based on our experiences and a lot of research we decided to add Dorper Sheep and Border Collies to our program. Since then we have leased 70 adjoining acres and currently have some crossbred steers utilizing that acreage.
We offer Dorper Sheep for Sale and often have Border Collies for Sale. Dorpers are a great "meat sheep" that are easy to handle. Border Collies with their natural herding abilities are the perfect complement to the Dorper Sheep and cattle. The dogs make handling all the livestock so much easier.
We often spend weekends at dog trials. Gary and some of the dogs compete in sheep, goat and cattle dog trials throughout the state of Texas. We've also started attending some out-of-state trials. We really enjoy the trials as we have made some great friends and always look forward to meeting new people and seeing new places. We'd like to thank our trialing friends, Betty Gillis and Rita Cannon, for providing some of our working dog photos.
We are always trying to increase the quality of our sheep and dogs. We hope to be able to continue to run some cattle as well. There is very little spare time around here and we're sure that will continue. Watch for updates as we add some more Dorper ewes to our flock and as the young dogs start training.
Please let us know if we can provide you with Dorper Sheep and/or Border Collies. Both are a great investment! Give us a call, send an e-mail or fill out our contact form. We'll be glad to try to help. |
