Cattle grazing on 687 acres of open range in Dell City, Texas. Rotational grazing practices maintain soil health while producing premium grass-fed beef integrated with our renewable water and land management systems.
Beefmaster and Brangus cattle selected specifically for West Texas conditions. These breeds thrive in arid environments with minimal supplemental feeding, converting native grasses into premium beef while maintaining body condition through summer heat exceeding 100 degrees.
687 acres divided into managed paddocks. Cattle rotate through sections allowing grass recovery and preventing overgrazing. This regenerative approach builds topsoil, sequesters carbon, and improves the land over time rather than depleting it. Water provided by solar-powered well pumps distributed to stock tanks across all paddocks.
Grass-fed, pasture-raised beef sold direct to consumers and local restaurants. Premium pricing for verified sustainable ranching practices. Additional revenue from breeding stock sales and cattle leasing arrangements.
By starting with 12 cows and adding 12 more each year, while retaining heifers to grow the herd, we can reach roughly 350 to 400 breeding cows by Year 7. In the current 2026 market, cow-calf margins are exceptionally strong, with projections estimated at $1,078 per cow.
By the seventh year, the operation will have scaled significantly due to both annual purchases and the natural growth from calves born each year.
To achieve these numbers, we manage the biological timeline of our cattle:
