Every spring, something magical happens on this working ranch in North Texas: a new generation of Valais Blacknose lambs is born.
These iconic “teddy bear sheep” are among the rarest and most beloved breeds in the world—and you don’t have to fly to Switzerland to meet them. If you’ve ever wanted to see Valais lambs up close, this is your chance. 🐑
But there’s a catch: these visits are extremely limited.

📅 When Are Visits Available?
Lambs are typically born between March and April, but exact dates vary each year. We’ll only offer a few carefully scheduled visits once the lambs are old enough for guests.
To keep things safe and enjoyable—for the animals, the ranch, and you—these are small-group visits by waitlist invitation only.
✅ Who These Visits Are For:
This isn’t a petting zoo visit. These sessions are designed for visitors ages 12 and up who are:
- 🧶 Fiber artists and rare breed enthusiasts
- 🐑 Aspiring shepherds or livestock learners
- 📷 Curious visitors who appreciate animals with care and respect
We’ll share plenty of photos afterward, but there’s no cell phone photography during your visit—so you can stay present and enjoy the moment.

These visits sell out quickly—and our ranch host only welcomes groups that truly want to connect with the animals. We’d love for you to be one of them.
Can’t wait for lamb season? You can also book a private group visit year-round.
