-Ranch History-
Sheldrake Ranch started game hunting on 3700acres in 1982 when the farm was stocked 
with game. In 1984 the ranch was expanded to 7400acres to accommodate more game.
In 1988, due to tremendous grouth, another neighbouring farm was bought and the
ranch was then 15 000acres big.

 In 1989 the ranch was expanded to 25 000 acres when yet another neighbouring farm
was bought. This made room for even more game, and more hunters could visit Sheldrake.
During 1994  Sheldrake was expanded to 28 500 acres and in 2000 again to bring the
total to 30 000 acres (12 000ha).

During 2005 and 2006 Sheldrake has also expanded its disease free buffalo heard.
Over the past years a number of impressive bulls have been introduced into the heard.
