TERRAIN/HABITAT: Northern Gonzales County is part of the Blackland Prairie region, which is characterized by deep, fertile soils and a mix of grasses and scattered trees. Some of the common tree species found in this region include post oak, blackjack oak, cedar elm, hackberry, mesquite, live oak, yaupon and eastern red cedar which we observed on the ranch. Other species such as pecan may also be found in riparian areas. The terrain is very desirable and easy on the eye. With rolling topography, the elevations range from about 310’ to 490’ above sea level. Great habitat with a good combination of open prairie with scattered trees, creek drainages with heavy cover and areas of very dense cover.

WILDLIFE: The hunting and fishing on the ranch is fantastic. The whitetail herd includes deer with improved genetics from well-known breeders which were introduced to the ranch over ten years ago. The ranch is currently enrolled the MLDP conservation option program allowing hunting season to usually start in October and run well into February. In addition, the ranch is populated with some exotic species such as axis, scimitar horned oryx and blackbuck antelope. Other native species include turkey, wild hogs, dove, quail and waterfowl.
