Sweeney Enterprises, Inc.

John and Doris Sweeney began making deer feeder timers in the late 1960s. At the time, John owned a clock and speedometer repair shop. A few customers brought in some homemade timers for repair. In order to serve his customers better, he began making his own timers - they were an immediate hit. From the very beginning, we stressed quality products and customer service. By 1970, we were making unique deer feeders to go along with the timers - once again emphasizing quality. As sales grew, John and Doris moved the business to their ranch in the Hill Country about a mile north of Welfare, Texas. We incorporated in May of 1973. For the next 20 years, the company grew and flourished - basically pioneering the wildlife and fish hatchery feeding industries.
