Sleepy Sheep Ranch is a Family

One great thing about Sleepy Sheep Ranch is that it is a family-run business. With more than 250 acres of wooded trails, ponds and creeks, you will always feel part of that family at Sleepy Sheep Ranch.

Dave, the owner of Sleepy Sheep Ranch, was at one time a thriving real estate investor. He was born and raised in Plano and had an office in Las Colinas buying properties. So needless to say, Dave was not a country boy. Then one day after reading an article in Arabian Horse World, he decided to buy some horses. Soon after, a client called about a property for sale. Dave drove out there and fell in love with the ranch.

But it didn’t start there. After finding out he was overweight and had super high blood pressure, Dave decided to leave his stressful job and the city and head for a life at Sleepy Sheep Ranch. At the time all he had were horses but over more than a decade, he has brought many different kinds of animals to the farm. The most prominent are the Dorper Sheep which the family raises for lamb meat. There are also Texas Longhorns, Nubian Milk Goats, and Sussex Chickens, to name only a few.

Today, Dave is hosting trail rides across 250 acres of wooded land and serving up steak dinners. He does all that and raises the animals and sells all natural products. And lately he has been doing something different: a City Slicker Round Up. That’s where groups get a chance to herd Texas Longhorns across several pastures.

So at Sleepy Sheep Ranch you are not only getting a run of the mill ranch experience. You get that personal, more intimate family feel from the staff at Sleepy Sheep Ranch. Families from around the area and around the nation come to Sleepy Sheep Ranch for the family experience.
