Meet our animals
At Guerrero Heritage Ranch, we are committed to preserving heritage livestock breeds, with a focus on those that are indigenous to our region or considered at risk. By responsibly raising these animals, we hope to help protect their future while educating others about their history, purpose, and importance in sustainable agriculture. While not every animal on our ranch is a heritage breed, every one of them is a valued member of our family and is cared for with the same respect, compassion, and dedication.
Sheep are an important part of Guerrero Heritage Ranch and our commitment to preserving agricultural heritage. Our flock includes Corriedale, Cotswold, and Navajo-Churro sheep, each with its own history, characteristics, and purpose. Through responsible stewardship, we hope to preserve these breeds while sharing their unique stories with future generations.

Goats bring plenty of personality and purpose to life at Guerrero Heritage Ranch. Our herd includes Nigerian Dwarf and mixed-breed goats, valued for their versatility, adaptability, and role in sustainable land management. Whether helping manage vegetation or simply keeping us entertained, each goat has an important place on our ranch.

Poultry
Poultry are a lively and diverse part of Guerrero Heritage Ranch, with our flock including heritage, production, and specialty breeds. From Narragansett turkeys to Lavender Orpingtons, Leghorns, Easter Eggers, Silkies, and more, each breed brings its own unique characteristics and purpose to the ranch. Our diverse flock allows us to appreciate traditional breeds while exploring the many roles poultry continue to play in agriculture today.
Why Heritage Breeds Matter
Heritage livestock breeds are a living connection to our agricultural past. Many were developed over generations for traits such as hardiness, adaptability, foraging ability, and success in specific climates and environments.
As modern agriculture has become more specialized, some traditional breeds have declined in number or become increasingly rare. By raising and sharing the stories of heritage breeds, we can help preserve their genetics, history, and place in agriculture for future generations.
At Guerrero Heritage Ranch, preservation isn't only about keeping these animals, it’s about understanding where they came from, why they matter, and what they can teach us about creating a more sustainable future.
