TEXAS COUNTY MAP

Sheldon Grothaus Broker, Owner, CEO

As Spring 2023 rolls into our horizon here in Texas, I am presented with numerous questions about the “What the heck is going on in South Texas?!?!?”

The influx of illegal immigrants across our South Texas ranches, has shown that it can affect the Real Estate market in those counties.

Our neighbors who own property all across South and West Texas are in a battle and the media just doesn’t really want to give it much air time. Some land owners who have accepted this as a way of life for years, are staying put. Some others want out and don’t trust Washington to make any changes to make it better.

It’s a mixed bag at this point and we certainly understand and empathize with everyone who finds themselves dealing with the question of “do I stay or do I go?”

Although I have seen some concern from buyers just being cautious when looking at these border ranches, I also feel it has created an opportunity for the buyer who is willing to accept the conditions. Because face it, there is still something magical about the brush country in South Texas and if its where your heart leads you, you’re going to listen!

Overall I am seeing that consumers still have a robust appetite and are actively looking to purchase land in spite of the steady rising interest rates they might find when financing. While 8.0-9.0% doesn’t sound all that attractive when you consider where rates were just a year or so ago, savvy buyers are trying to make a deal now, with hopes of being able to refinance that loan down the line.

The advice we try to present to our clients is “what is your end goal?”

“Are you are trying to lock up a legacy piece of property for your family?”

“Does this particular ranch under consideration check the boxes for you?”

Then consider financially what the best option for you is in regards to how you purchase this property. Our friends at Capital Farm Credit have helped many of our customers navigate these questions over the years, and that partnership is more important now than ever.

I am confident in Texas Ranch Sales ability to continue to help clients attain their perfect ranch property. We have 45 Associates and Broker Associates all over the state that are ready to help. It would also be an honor to help you and your family sell your ranch.

I look forward to helping you in your ranch real estate needs,

Quite possibly my favorite time of the year in Texas is Spring. It’s when we see our great state start to shed her winter coat of brown and grey and all kinds of beautiful colors start to pop out of the landscape. It’s like Mother Nature starts working with a new canvas and uses the Blue Bonnets and Yuccas and the many grasses, weeds and forbs as the paint pallet to produce her next masterpiece. I love Spring. I love the chance to be outside, I love cooking out, and I really love Baseball!

As I write this, we are coming out of a 3rd year in a row where Texas experienced a winter storm. Ice and Snow in parts of our state really hit some areas that were already still experiencing extreme drought. That cold weather really burned some of the young brush that had started to pop and put stress on wildlife in several places. We need those forbs and weeds for all our animals…..both livestock and the wild critters. I spoke with a rancher down in Catarina who said his bucks were dropping antlers in the first week of February this year! That’s pretty early! So if you’re of the praying kind, please start sending them up regularly for rain. For most of the last decade, most of our state has experienced some form of drought. Some places have never had a reprieve. So yes, pray for rain.

As a company Texas Ranch Sales is out of the gate with several new listings that you will find in this issue. The market continues to be steady and new inventory is coming available regularly. We are also in conversations with several land owners who are considering selling their property, but are on the hunt to identify another property to move to first. If you just aren’t seeing what you’re looking for online, you need to reach out to one of our TRS Associates or Broker Associates. They will let you know of the properties we have coming up and can be on the lookout for you if they know your specific needs. Everyone here will work very hard for you, and given the opportunity to prove it, I am certain you’d feel the same!

Finally, if you are a Licensed Real Estate Agent in the state of Texas or a Broker Associate or even Broker, and looking for a new team, I would love the opportunity to speak with you. Our team is growing from every corner of this great state and I would enjoy the chance to tell you about it!

Have a great Spring Folks.

Enjoy the beautiful weather, the flowers, and the baseball! And remember this “You can’t pray for rain and complain about a little mud!”

God Bless,

The Perfect Fit

Finding recreational property that’s right for the whole family

close, work still needs to be done. Crisp mornings of outdoor labor end near campfires, while soaking up accounts of the day’s events and the tasks still to be done tomorrow. Ranching. It’s the foundation of our story. It’s what makes us family.

When it comes to building a family, a piece of Texas can define what it truly means to come home. After a long day at work, the place you call home is your personal retreat.

A personal sanctuary

“In 2015, we started raising grass-fed and grain-fed Japanese beef direct to consumer,” said Lowry. “We’re fifth generation ranchers, and we plan for our son and daughters to be the sixth generation.”

“I live on a piece of property with my wife, two boys and several animals,” says Wes Mangan. “I work in oil and gas, and I travel a lot. When I come home, it’s like my sanctuary.”

Chimichurri Backstrap Pinwheels

Chimichurri Backstrap Pinwheels

Tis the season to have Backstrap in the freezer! Venison Backstrap is almost every hunter’s favorite cut of meat. Frying small medallions is the most popular way to cook this cut, but it really does not do the meat justice. This recipe is a simple way to elevate your Game when it comes to cooking venison. These chimichurri pinwheels makes for a bright, colorful plate of perfectly cooked wild game!

Ingredients for meat

1. Backstrap loin

2. 1 recipe Chimichurri

3. Havarti Cheese Slices

4. Seasoning (your preference)

5. Butchers twine

Ingredients for chimichurri

1. 1 3/4 cup of chopped Fresh Parsley (lightly packed)

2. 1/4 cup of chopped Fresh Cilantro (lightly packed)

3. 2 tablespoons of chopped shallots

4. 5 cloves of garlic (smashed)

5. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

6. 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes

7. 1/4 teaspoon of salt

8. 1/4 teaspoon of pepper

9. 1/2 cup of olive oil

Preparation of Chimichurri - Combine all ingredients except olive oil. Add to food processor and pulse several times. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing. Once it’s all mixed up, it’s ready!

*Note- this is a thick version of Chimichurri so that it sticks in the pinwheels better. For a thinner sauce/dressing, add another 1/2 cup of olive oil.

Directions

1. Take your backstrap loin and butterfly it open so you have a nice flat piece of meat.

2. Pound meat so it’s about 1/4” thick and even. Be careful not to pound through the meat.

3. Season both sides to your liking. I use Mexican spices for this dish (jalapeño rub from Fiesta Seasoning is the BEST). Let meat get to room temp.

4. Cut several 8-10” strands of butchers twine. Soak in water.

a. For larger game like elk, make the strands longer. You want to have plenty of length to wrap around the loin.

b. Soaking the twine helps prevent burning on the grill.

5. While meat is sitting, prepare chimichurri.

6. Brush a layer of chimichuri on one side of the meat.

7. Next, put down a layer of cheese.

8. Then, brush one more layer of Chimichuri on top of the cheese.

9. Tightly roll the backstrap into a log. Make sure that you are rolling in the direction that you butterflied the meat open to.

10. Tie several strands of butchers tine tightly around the log. Trim the excess strands.

11. Slice into 1.5-2” thick medallions. *keep the butchers twine on for the entire cooking process.

12. Adjust the temperature of your grill to about 375°. Spray rack with olive oil and cook meat 5 min per side, or until the exterior of the pinwheels has a nice sear and meat thermometer registers 125° in center of pinwheel.

13. Remove from grill, lightly tent and let meat rest 5 min.

14. Top with Chimichurri sauce and serve!

BRAND

By: Tyler Beach | Associate, Texas Ranch Sales

Our identity… its everything. It says, ‘this is me’! It has a spoken name, its own twang, and a stamp to go with it. These stamps are represented through an ancient, yet simple practice called line art. Some stamps are similar, but they always have a distinguishable difference if you look. Our personality helps differentiate our identity further and is shaped from the heart of our environment. We choose our own character and that gives it all a reputation, recognized under one stamp. This is our identity, and we’re damn proud of it. We own it, and all assets associated with it…. including our livestock.

Our stock animals are special and get their own stamp, we call it a ‘Brand’. The Brand our stock carries is directly associated with our name, our identity, and our ownership. Our brand represents not only us, but our livelihood and family heritage. An old Texan once said, ‘Don’t mess with Texas, and Don’t fondle my Brand’, and that pretty much sums it up around here. Only a heathen or a thief would think to mess a rancher’s identity.

Before branding was associated with the old time waddies, brush busters, caballeros, vaqueros, rancheros, and buckaroos of Mexico, the Southwest, and Great Basin areas it was an ancient practice way out east in the Indus valley of Egypt. The first known record of livestock branding dates to over 4,700 years ago, depicted in an ancient Egyptian tomb painting. They too had to eat, needed reliable sustainable sustenance beyond the crop… and they raised their stock animals with great care and protection just like we do.

The origin of the word ‘brand’ dates back to Old Norse, the ancient North Germanic language from which Scandinavian languages derived. The term began as, ‘Brandr’, and originally referred to a piece of burning wood. During late Middle English it graduated into a verb that translated to “mark permanently with a hot iron.” By the seventeenth century, it represented a ‘mark of ownership made by branding’ as we know it today.

It was when the Spaniards brought their branding practices into New Spain that ‘our’ branding history began. In 1519 Hernán Cortés landed in South America with 500 men and 15 horses. During the late sixteenth century in the valley of Mexicalzimgo, south of modern Toluca, Mexico, he experimented with cattle breeding and began branding those dogies. His cattle wore the brand of the three Latin crosses, representing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

In New Spain, all cattle owners were required to have a different brand, and each brand was to be registered in what was undoubtedly the original brand book of the Americas. The book was first kept in Mexico City, but later was moved to the largest Spanish settlement in Texas, the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar. Early Spanish brands generally consisted of more pictographs than the combination of symbols and letters that we associate with modern cattle brands. Spaniards being notably passionate people designed their brands to represent their sentiments and passions in beautiful ways. The Texians often referred to these traditional brands as “dog irons” or “quién sabes” (Spanish for “who knows?”) since they could not be easily read.

While historical Spanish cattle brands were often comprised of ornate pictographs, early Texas brands were often formulated with letters. Brands can be comprised of not only letters but also shapes, or symbols, often embellished. Modifications like “lazy,” “crazy,” “flying,” and “walking” were and still are often used to further distinguish there brand…. and their identity. The earliest ‘Anglo’ cattle brand recorded in Texas is believed to be that of Richard H. Chisholm, and registered in Gonzales County in 1832, as the “H C Bar” brand.

A ranchero would compose his own brand to raise cattle. When his first son acquired his own livestock, a curlicue or pendant could be added to the father’s brand. As other sons acquired their own, additional curlicues, pendants or serifs would be added to what became the family’s brand. By the 1700s, as the Spanish were moving herds north into Coahuila y Tejas to support the missions they had established in the Rio Grande and San Antonio River valleys, most Spanish brands were still made of pictograms rather than letters.

When it comes to the real roots of horsemanship techniques used to work cattle and complimentary horse breeding programs to truly excel at it… we owe it to the early Spaniards. Going back even further, the Spaniards in fact owe the majority of their riding skills and techniques used to work cattle to the Moors who were defeated by Spain in 1492 ending their 700-year stronghold in Iberia. Many of the Moors were enslaved at that time, and Cortés brought some of them with him to the Americas to help them succeed in establishment.

In the beginning, Cortés and the conquistadores placed themselves above labor, assigning their work to their Moorish slaves. These enslaved Black Muslim men were the first true Vaqueros. Overtime as things progressed, they needed more Vaqueros and allowed the Native Americans ‘of New Spain / Mexico’ to ride horses and help, only for work, and only without saddles. The Spanish ensured that Native Americans became superior horsemen during this time.

By the 17th century, descendants of the Spanish, Native Americas, and Moors were working cattle using those Spanish methods that were instituted by the Moors. The vaqueros and their refined artful practices played a tremendous role in the establishment, quality, and progression of Texas cattle ranching. A great example of this is one of the most well recognized ranch brands of Texas, the Running W of the King Ranch which used Vaqueros to get things off the ground and establish themselves. Even the vegetarians, vegans, and breakfast taco claimers of Austin recognize that famous King brand right off the bat when they see it, and that says a whole lot. For the Yellowstone fanatics reading this in a Teepee out there in Marfa, keep your hat on and yoga mats laid out… yes, the 6666 is certainly a hell of an empire right alongside the King and we treasure its heritage and history as well, but let’s stick to the story here for now.

Richard King was an intelligent man who saw a tremendous opportunity to utilize all those wild Longhorns that were descendants of the original Mexican cattle. His vision was to create a large scale highly profitable business out of it. He had the business know how…

but had no experience with livestock. One of the smartest and most crucial decisions he ever made to make his vision a reality in my opinion was to do whatever it took to find and hire people who knew how to raise and work livestock as well as he knew how to operate and grow a business, and he only wanted the best. To get the best he traveled down to Cruillas, Tamaulipas, in northern Mexico where he recruited around 100 families with the promise of providing them with a comfortable home and work for their lifetime on his ranch. Over time, they adopted the alias of Kineños, or King’s men.

The Mexican vaqueros taught King everything: how to work cattle and train horses, how to cull and keep the best stock, and how to build a ranch. King trusted the vaqueros implicitly and took paternalistic responsibility for their well-being, and the vaqueros rewarded that trust with their loyalty. He pioneered a new level of ranching, and what would become the largest most profitable long-lasting wellknown cattle business operations in the world. His identity, business, and legacy were recognized and represented under one brand, the running W.

When raising livestock modernized over time and became the level of business as we know it today, business itself at times got its own brand. Some brands stayed the same as the original design representing their family and livestock operation like the Running W, 6666, Pitchfork, XIT, Y.O., Turkey Track, Waggoner, Briscoe and the list goes on. Others morphed into a whole new object and artistry. This was the birth of the corporate brand in the ranching industry.

Within Taylor Holland’s article ‘Origins of Branding’, he wrote: “What, how, and why we brand have changed. But branding today is still about taking ownership. Owning what your company values and represents, owning up to your shortcomings, and earning customer trust and loyalty through your words, your actions, and your stories.”, and I could not have relayed my thoughts and feelings on what branding represents today any better than that for this purpose.

People tend to be drawn towards brands that produce great success, are authentic to who they are, and look good to the eye. In my opinion when it comes to modern day business brands in the lone star state there’s one brand that encapsulates each one of these qualities and truly shines the brightest in my eyes, the brand of Texas Ranch Sales LLC…. and it just so happens that Texas is its brand.

If you have questions about branding, registration, livestock and land ownership, or just need to know where to find a great burger in your area... give me a call.

SPRING MEANS GO FOR FERAL HOGS

By: Aaron Sumrall, PhD | Field Engine Wildlife Research | Pig Brig Trap Systems

Deep in the grey days of winter’s grip, our wild tenants to the land can be struggling to hold on until the light of the green of spring appears. Landscapes of late winter are typically void of substantial quality nutrition, with natural food sources being depleted weeks earlier in most instances. In the fall, areas of high mast production (acorns and pecans) have either been consumed by wildlife or spoiled from high moisture. Wildlife feeders used in hunting have primarily been turned off and removed. In most locations, nutrition has been limited to woody browse for larger species or stored food by squirrels and rodents.

Compounding the nutritional stress on the animals occupying the landscape, most mature females are either bred or lactating. Doe deer are bred from the fall and early winter breeding seasons. Feral hog females are either bred or have given birth in response to reaching breeding conditions from the cornucopia of available fall nutrition. Both bucks and boars are not in peak condition during late winter as a result of extreme physical activity of breeding and fighting. Poorly managed landscapes can compound already depleted nutritional availability.

Spring green-up is the green light of nutrition that all species have been holding on to reach all winter. Feral hogs are known for their prompt response to improving body condition when adequate food becomes available. Feral hog females stressed from late winter poor nutrition quickly turn ravenous on the newly emerging vegetation and introduced food sources. Newly available vegetation is typically highly nutritious resulting in highly nutritious milk for nursing piglets, equating to an increased survivorship of those piglets.

Land managers providing food plots and protein feeders for deer and other desirable wildlife are not exempt from the thievery of feral pigs. Cultivated land for food plots exposes beetles, bugs, worms, and grubs for feral hogs to exploit in addition to the pounds of planted seed. Unprotected protein feeders are merely buffets for feral pigs, eliminating deer and desirable wildlife from utilizing the food source.

Vegetation and introduced agriculture and wildlife plantings and feeders are not the only items on the spring menu for feral hogs. Food habit studies indicate that feral hog diets are largely vegetation representing up to 80-90% of what is consumed by the species. The remaining 10-20% of a feral hog’s diet is composed of animal matter.

Most of the animal matter is grubs, worms, and other invertebrates. We must remember that feral hogs are considered opportunistic omnivores, meaning they will take advantage of any food source. If given the opportunity, feral hogs will consume deer fawns. In Texas, feral hogs are considered to be the #2 predator of kid goats and lambs only behind the coyote. Ground nesting birds such as turkeys and quail take it hard on the chin from feral hogs by losing in excess of 70% of egg clutches, according to many research projects across the pig-occupied landscape.

Feral hog management increases efficiency as winter progresses up to spring green up. Reproductive and reconditioning stresses result in feral hogs being very responsive to baits and trapping. This does not mean that removal is going to be a definite outcome. Feral hogs are very smart and responsive to pressure. Some things to always do when trapping pigs are to be consistent and patient. Baiting/conditioning traps at the same time each day will habituate feral hogs to your activity so be consistent with the bait you use and the time of day your baiting. Remain patient; feral hogs do not carry a calendar. Trying to force feral hogs to do what you want them to do is the definition of pressure and will likely drive pigs not to respond to trapping efforts.

Academic research indicates that trapping is the foundation of a sound feral hog removal approach but is not a stand-alone option for complete success. Adaptive management is the appropriate approach to removing feral hogs from your landscape comprehensively. Trapping leads to the charge of removal, incorporating the remaining legal options at appropriate times in the process. Snares should not be used within ¼ mile of trap locations but can be used simultaneously. Gunning should never be used during trapping efforts. Hinting dogs and/or aerial gunning can be highly successful following trapping with the mission of removing the stragglers missed during the trapping process.

Spring green up will signify a torpor in the trapping and management efficiency of feral hogs, so keep an eye on the swelling buds. Your late winter feral hog removal activity will pay out in gold bars when spring is here, and you see those new deer fawns, poults, chicks, kid goats, lambs, and thriving agriculture and food plot stands. Feral hogs will not regulate themselves; your land health and impact from feral hogs are entirely dependent on you.
