U Double U Ranch

U Double U Ranch, Shetland sheep, Gardendale, TX in West Texas near Midland, is a small family operation with more than ten years of experience. The flock is registered and monitored for sound conformation and genetic health, and each lamb benefits from regular veterinary checks. Animals graze on open pasture and receive daily handling to promote a gentle temperament.

Owner Coleen Dabbs emphasizes sustainable pasture management and maintains a quiet country setting with secure pens. Lambs are raised alongside a ranch dog and chickens to encourage social engagement and adaptability. Many visitors note the peaceful rural backdrop and the visible bond between flock members. A regular shearing schedule each spring produces high-quality fleece prized by local artisans for its soft texture and consistent color. Strict biosecurity protocols and rotational grazing help maintain flock health and preserve the natural grassland habitat.
