Texas Cattle Ranches are a part of the most recognizable ranching legacy in the World.  Mexican Vaqueros and Texas Cowboys helped to forge a history and tradition that includes ranches that Evans & Associates Real Estate has had the privilege of working with.  Texas Farm and Ranch cannot be mentioned with out including Cattle Ranches.

Over our 30 years in the business we have marketed and sold Dairy Farms, Feed Lots, Hay farms, Grazing Land, and everything in-between.  Travel South of San Antonio and it won’t be long before you start to notice that you are in Texas Farm & Ranch country.  This area is home to some of the oldest ranching families in Texas. 

Brokering a Texas Cattle Ranch For Sale is a unique kind of transaction in that there is usually more involved that just the property.  We handle the sale of hoof and rolling stock for our clients.  The sale and transfer of real and personal property requires some special consideration and we have experience in doing just that. 

Texas Farms and Ranches are a great investment.  We are often able to find a property that will suit almost any situation.  Whether you are interested in commercial feeding of 10,000 head or retiring on a gentleman’s farm, we can help you.  We work with the TCEQ in acquiring permits and we have contacts for every aspect of a working farm.  We can help set you up with an experienced foreman, or just a quality hay source.  There are several Texas Cattle Ranches that we have been involved with for over 20 years; brokering the sale and advising new owners.

Travel from Eagle Pass to Cotulla to Laredo and you have just coved the Texas ‘Golden Triangle.” This area got its name by producing some of the biggest Whitetail Deer ever taken.   Today, thanks to management programs, it seems that all of South Texas is deserving of the title.  It is amazing how fun it can be to own a Texas Deer Hunting Ranch.

Stories of the South Texas Brush Country can be heard all over the nation.  Every Whitetail Deer Hunter, regardless of were they are from, has dreamed of looking down a long Sendero and seeing a “Muy Grande” step out into the open.  Deep in the heart of the “Golden Triangle” is Freer Texas, home of the Muy Grande Deer Contest.  This contest did more for the reputation of Texas Deer Hunting Ranches than anything else.  After just it’s first year, hunters from all over the country were flocking there to try test their skills against these South Texas Giants.

The fact is that most of us don’t know the difference between Guayacan and Cancun; and that’s not just a Texas Ranch Broker’s inside joke. Knowing can be the diffeence  between a good Texas hunting ranch and something truly exceptional. 

Texas Whitetail rely heavily on natural food sources; and nothing is more desirable to them.  Having a good mix of browse, habitat,  and plenty of permanent water are the necessary elements for keeping and growing trophy animals. 

When we are on a South Texas Hunting Ranch we look for several key factors. 

1. Brush/Browse Diversity:  Presence of high protein browse, maturity, height (8ft+), and management. We are looking for Guayacan, Blackbrush, Granjeno,  Honey Mesquite and Guajillo.
2. Number and location of permanent water sources. There should be at least one (1) for every 300 acres, spread over the ranch evenly. Water in only one location can cause that area to become over grazed.
3. Habitat and habitat control.  Looking for heavy brush cover with sanctuary areas.  Habitat control should include roller-chopping to lower the browse line and encourage growth. 
4. Population control is a major factor in a ranch successfully producing trophy class animals.  We look for signs of over grazing but rely mostly on game counts and surveys.

Every ranch is different, and depending on the location you will be wanting to look for different things.  There are only three constants in good hunting properties; food, water, and habitat.
