OUR STORY

A Simple Farm. A Lasting Purpose.

419 Texels & Crossbreds is a family-run farm on 40 acres in northwest Ohio. We’ve been raising sheep for more than 16 years, a journey that started with Suffolks and Hampshires and later grew to include Texels.

Over the years, we’ve built a flock known for gentle disposition, exceptional structure, and prime-quality end product. What began as a small family project has grown into a passion — one that connects us with fellow sheep enthusiasts.

“Good sheep. Good people. A brighter tomorrow.”
