The Sheepwalk Ranch

The Sheepwalk Ranch raises Shetland sheep in Bandera, TX, in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. Amy Lofting participates in genetic screening, annual scrapie certification, and national registry programs to support healthy bloodlines. The flock grazes on rotational pastures, and lambs are raised with daily handling and low-stress weaning to promote calm temperaments. The Sheepwalk Ranch’s deep ties to traditional sheep farming lend perspective in preserving shetland traits while encouraging sustainable land stewardship practices.

Rolling hills across the property provide ample space for pasture rotation and natural foraging throughout the year. Their sheep contribute to land conservation by grazing invasive brush on marginal soils and supporting native grass regeneration. Each lamb leaves the ranch with complete health records, appropriate vaccinations, and ongoing care recommendations. Seasonal availability ensures careful management of flock size, optimal breeding schedules, and personalized attentive care.
