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.
One of the beauty’s of selectively managing a wild deer herd on a large, low fence ranch is the ability for individual deer to grow old. We try to harvest our top end bucks when they reach 7-8 yrs old, but there are also plenty of mid-range bucks that make it this long, or in this case longer. For us, we love nothing more than to harvest an old monarch such as this buck. We have no idea as to his exact age, but know based on years of trail camera images, physical signs, and tooth wear, this guy was OLD! However, he still topped the scales at just over 220lbs live weight. Remember, sometimes it not the score that makes the trophy. (Swipe left to see the wear on his pre-molars/molars, on his bottom jaw) 📸 @t_worlow @lilbuddy1997

A heartfelt thanks to all those who have, are, and will serve to protect this great country. Without their sacrifices, we couldn’t do what we do each day here at the ranch. We worked our fall pairs today. Happy Veterans Day to all.

Moved heifers to greener pastures today. We will breed and winter them off the ranch this year for the first time….girls are looking good considering they have been on pretty tough range conditions since birth! Tomorrow we will collect yearling weights and work them in preparation for AI in early December.

WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY! We are on the backside of the Monarch butterfly migration; however, we were able to get a few tagged this year. How was the migration in your area? We feel it was a bit slower than usual at the ranch and contribute that to range conditions being extremely dry right now. Our last measurable rainfall was 8/5/21. As wildlife managers, we often don’t realize how rainfall, or in this case lack thereof, impacts all wildlife species.

Less than a week before hunters across the state are sitting around camp fires talking about the “Muy Grande” that walked away. Here is to time spent with family and friends over the coming months in pursuit of white-tailed deer….and memories to last a lifetime. 📸 @ayeokhannahk @t_worlow

The main herd knows when they are going to fresh pasture….no calling necessary and the move is done in 5 minutes! We are moving our fall herd every 2-3 days right now, while calving, to fresh pasture. We are doing our best to keep them on a high plane of nutrition and leaving a significant amount of forage behind. We are right at 100 calves on the ground in 17 days.

If you are looking for a bull with performance, EPDs, the ability to “hold up” in any environment, and cover cows in big country, we hope you join us.
