A few good reasons to raise Miniature Herefords:
They take much less space to raise than standard size cattle!
They are "family sized" to put in a freezer. No need to shop for half a beef
at your butcher shop with these,
(hence, you'll KNOW where your meat is coming from!).
They make excellent pet cattle; they have nice temperaments
and youth can show them with ease!
They are always marketable!
They are so nice to just look at!
A few good reasons to raise Hair Sheep:
You do not have to shear them or dock their tails!
They are a meat breeds, so you will have excellent tasting and quality meat right in your back yard!
They are very easy to raise and keep-- they are foragers, so having the perfect pasture is not a
concern!
Katahdin ewes are very hardy, have exceptional mothering ability and lamb easily, preferring to
lamb outdoors- and it is possible get 3 lamb crops in 2 years! Nearly always birthing twins, you may
have a 200% increase in your sheep crop regularly!
You can raise about 6 sheep in the same area one standard sized cow would use up!
They require no specialized feeds-- just good forage/ hay and a mineral supplement!
This breed is disease and parasite resistant!
They are nice to look at, and come in a large variety of colors and spots! Plus, little lambs will bring
a smile to any body's face!
Sturgell Ranch is committed to raising quality, naturally raised, cattle and sheep. If you are

Welcome to Sturgell Ranch; home to an eclectic group of farm raised,
home-grown animals. Our goal is to first provide healthy, natural grown meats
to our own family, replenish our breeding stock with quality animals and then,
as abundance and selection allow, supply animals for your family also!
Our livestock are all naturally raised as far as can be allowed. We do what is
necessary to keep them healthy, and if that means giving an antibiotic or other
medicine, then we will. We DO NOT however, use any medicines randomly or
with out cause on them, and it is with careful consideration when we do. Our
animals are raised on chemical free pastures, supplemented with chemical free
feeds, and fed hay that is grown and harvested right here on Sturgell Ranch.
Our animals are carefree and content, and that grows them best!

Our reasons for choosing Mini Herefords and
Hair sheep are both practical and egocentric! 1st,
we want to feed our family, and 2nd, we want
purpose for our animals beyond just eating. For
us that means enjoyment, marketability and ease
of management.

Our Miniature cattle fill all our needs: Aesthetics, quality meat, ease of raising, marketability, low
maintenance, small space, and just plain fun to have. Our Katahdin hair sheep fit that bill also. These
sheep are bred just for their meat-- not for their wool--they shed! So they are very easy to keep! Our
cattle and sheep also suit Biblical standards for meats that may be eaten (read Leviticus chapter 11).

If we just wanted to feed our family, we could have
settled for any type of beef cattle or sheep. But we're
not that easily satisfied! We wanted animals that
would bring us years of enjoyment and satisfaction
without having to work harder for it. These two
animal breeds hit that nail squarely on the head!
