Kade & Morgan Hodges
Sheep Producers (TX)

Kade and Morgan Hodges are the husband-and-wife team behind Hodges Ranch in Sterling
County, Texas, continuing a family ranching legacy dating back to the late 1880s. As sixth-
generation ranchers raising the seventh generation, they are committed to building a
sustainable livestock operation rooted in stewardship, innovation, and long-term profitability.
Hodges Ranch began with cattle and later became known for Merino and Rambouillet sheep
before transitioning fully to Royal White hair sheep in 2016. Today, Kade and Morgan manage
sheep, cattle, and goats across West Texas ranchland and expanding solar grazing sites in East
Texas. Their operation focuses on raising productive livestock while caring for the land,
improving animal welfare, and creating a business that can support future generations.
Since committing to ranching full-time, Kade and Morgan have grown their business through
lease expansions, solar grazing, mixed-species grazing, data-driven management, and a strong
team of employees. They emphasize measurable goals, genetic improvement, parasite
resistance, efficient recordkeeping, and enterprise-level profitability. Their mission is to be
good stewards while raising productive and profitable livestock for consumers and fellow ranchers.
