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.
Take a child hunting or fishing and teach them the value and blessing of spending time outdoors. Don’t worry about how many critters you bag or how many fish you catch, worry about teaching them how to respect Mother Nature and the land we all manage. @t_worlow #getoutside #takeakidfishing #takeakidhunting #mothernature #nature #conservation #respect #hunting #hunttexas #hunt #fishing #fishtexas #gohunt #gofish #landstewardship #landethic #lovetheland #futuregeneration #outdoors #greatoutdoors #habitat #sanpedroranch #sanpedro #southtexas #southtexashunting #texas
When you know it’s calving season. We walk through the females every morning to tag and weigh every calf that hits the ground. We have not always collected birth weights, but started doing so in 2016. After this calving season, we will have collected nearly a thousand birth weights. It’s a great deal of work, but the data has lent itself well to our management.

This is the mother of SPR 7069 (second picture; C1093207), which will sale October 5th in San Angelo at the Isa Performance Bull Sale. She is a 4 yr old here with her 3rd calf; photo was taken 2 days ago. If she gets this bull calf to weaning with a weaning weight ratio of 105 or better, she will become a pacesetter cow. Incredible how well she has held her condition despite receiving only 6” of rain thus far for the year. She has done all we could ask for out of a cow. This is a Habanero bull calf at her side. @isabeefmasters

Regardless of the situation, a mothers love for her child never waivers. There is no love stronger, than that of a mother. In our opinion, every day should be Mother’s Day. .

First Habanero bull calf on the ground. We AI’d 110 females to 5 different bulls last year, which is just over 1/3 of our herd. Excited to see the calves. @isabeefmasters

Wherever you are, or whatever you are doing today, take a moment to remember what happened on this day 18 years ago. Today we remember and honor those who lost their lives as a result of terrorism, and are thankful for those who defended this country and honored the families who lost loved ones. Never forget. #911 #heroes #neverforget #remember #usa #america #twintowers #honor #defend #redwhiteandblue
AI calves are starting to hit the ground! Sirepro bull calf out of a first calf heifer. Birthweight was 61 lbs.

Calves are hitting the ground daily now. We are praying for all those in need of rain right now...we are very dry.

First photo was taken in Feb 2013, second photo in Feb 2019. We use photo points to monitor our grazing and help us evaluate how much forage we have stockpiled ahead of or behind the cattle. In our environment, allowing each pasture adequate rest is crucial in our grazing program as it is not uncommon to go 200+ days without significant rainfall. We have made plenty of mistakes, but have learned how to use cattle as a tool to better manage the rangeland. Compared to 6 years ago, we have stockpiled more forage with less rainfall and 30% more cattle.
