Welcome to San Pedro Ranch
The San Pedro Ranch is located in Dimmit and Maverick Counties, 30 miles southwest of Carrizo Springs, Texas. Twenty-six different soil types, spanning over 23,000 acres, support a very diverse plant and animal community. The ranch is low fenced, and offers some of the best fair chase hunting opportunities for native white-tailed deer. Over the years, state of the art wildlife management practices have produced some of the highest quality trophy white-tailed deer in Texas, as measured by the Boone & Crockett Club.
Visit the San Pedro Ranch, and you will see approximately 325 head of hardy, gentle, registered Beefmaster cattle. We have genetically selected our cattle to thrive in an arid, oftentimes, harsh environment. Our San Pedro Beefmaster bulls reflect such distinguished lineage as LBar 5502, Ranger’s Pride, Casey, Tres Hijos, Frenzel, and Nolan Ryan bloodlines. Our heifers descend from cows who have consistently weaned a calf every year, even in difficult drought conditions.
At the San Pedro, we try to make the most of nature’s bounty by practicing holistic management; weighing each decision against the over-arching goal of improved native habitat and a healthier ecosystem. The San Pedro Ranch converts sun, soil, water, plant, and livestock resources into a valuable food source. We like to say that we help nature do what she does best. Please enjoy exploring our website for additional inforamtion.
Great middle age buck. Main frame 14 with a few extras. Will be fun watching this guy over the next couple years.

Can Cow 69 do it again?! First 3 pics are of her current bull calf. We really like his depth and thickness at a young age (50 days old). Last picture is of her first calf at 6 months old, which ended up being the high selling bull at the Isa Performance Bull Sale this October. She is a 4 year old cow with her third calf at her side, and well on her way to becoming a Pacesetter. Her second calf was a heifer, which we retained as a replacement. @isabeefmasters .

Calves look great right now despite less than 8” of rain across the ranch since January 1! We have really been working to tighten our calving season for several reasons, two reasons being decreased work load since we collect birth weights on all calves, and getting a more uniform group of calves. This year, we calved out 74% of our females in 30 days, and 97% in 51 days.

Hard to beat fall sunsets in South Texas. On calm evenings, old water pilas make for a cool reflection. Took this picture the other afternoon while checking pairs.

In today’s society we are surrounded by a great deal of “noise”. Get a kid outside in the outdoors away from the “noise”, and teach them the morals and ethics they are going to need to be successful in a changing world. #getoutside #takeakidfishing #takeakidhunting #outdoors #ethics #morals #greatoutdoors #deerhunting #deermanagement #southtexas #southtexashunting #venison #antlers #brushcountry #passiton #sanpedroranch #texas #texaswildlife #texasparksandwildlife #hunttexas #futuregenerations #sunset
Anyone else hoping for full straps and chocolate antlers Saturday morning? Good luck to all the hunters across the state Saturday morning, as waterfowl and whitetail season kicks off! @buddyraney .

Brought all of our pairs through HQ the past 2 days and gave the cows their “pre-breeding” work up. Calves are looking great! The horned cow in the foreground of the first pic is 12 years old raising her 11th calf.

Flooding our wetland and opening up a few holes in all the vegetation which will allow waterfowl to land in open water. They can then swim through the flooded vegetation to forage. It’s safe to say, they have tons of seed available and all the vegetation will hold an abundance of invertebrates. Hope the front coming tonight brings some migrants! #waterfowl #waterfowlhunting #ducks #geese #wetlands #ducksunlimited #conservation #hunting #habitat #habitatmanagement #invertebrates #seed #wildfowl #migration #coldfront #weather #winter #fall #southtexas #sanpedroranch
The beauty of fall rains....cool season annuals (aka forbs or weeds). We received between 0.7-1.72” across the ranch last week, which still only puts us at an average of 7.5” for the year. However, it was enough to get some germination of cool season annuals and a small flush or new growth on the grass. These “weeds” are extremely important for all wildlife species and cattle throughout winter and early spring in our environment. Hopefully we will get some additional moisture and they will stick around! #forbs #weeds #wildflowers #rain #soil #soilhealth #rangeland #rangemanagement #wildlife #cattle #habitat #nature #conservation #grass #grassland #landstewardship #habitatmanagement #rainfall #weather #fallweather #southtexas #brushcountry #sanpedroranch
Not a bad middle age buck! He has a bright future. @t_worlow
