<strong>Spring</strong> has sprung. The <strong>Texas</strong> land market is heating up just like the temperatures. Top<br />

brokers from around the state are reporting strong sales and increased prices. Thanks to the<br />

shale plays cash is literally flowing out of the ground, and, in many cases, are being plowed<br />

right back into the soil as solid investments are sought. While it’s always great to be in the<br />

Lone Star State, now is particularly exciting.<br />

This bigger, bolder, better issue marks the kick-off of our conservation partnership with the<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> Wildlife Association and its 6,500 members who own or manage nearly 40 million<br />

acres of private land in <strong>Texas</strong>. Working together, we’ve not only increased our impact, but<br />

diversified our content. In our pages, you’ll now find stories of committed stewardship,<br />

innovative conservation programs, and some valuable how-to information.<br />

This issue will introduce you to Randy Rehmann, one of TWA’s leaders. Eighteen years ago, Randy owned a single acre of land. Today,<br />

he owns and manages two ranches in <strong>Texas</strong> and is negotiating for a third. He also has acquired a Colorado ranch. His goals: leaving<br />

the land better than he finds it and shaping the conservation conversation to include the needs of private land owners. His story is<br />

one of stewardship in action.<br />

In addition, you can explore the Ranch Brigade, an effort to create the next generation of conservation-minded leaders for <strong>Texas</strong> and<br />

learn how grazing, despite its bad rap, can be a very useful land management tool. Then, of course, we still have all of the timely real<br />

estate news fit to print.<br />

As always, at Lands of <strong>Texas</strong> Magazine, we’re keeping it rural and we’re keeping it real because we reach <strong>Texas</strong> top to bottom.<br />

Los Cañones Ranch<br />

Edwards County

4,107± Acres | Edwards County | Property ID; 1187338<br />

Los Cañones Ranch is a completely outfitted dream for a family seeking<br />

a private getaway, a CEO searching for a corporate retreat, or an<br />

investor looking for a turnkey commercial hunting operation. Located<br />

40 miles southwest of Rocksprings, the completely high-fenced ranch,<br />

which features a lighted helipad and has been approved as the site of<br />

a 4,200-foot landing strip, has both privacy and accessibility. Larger<br />

aircraft can land at the Del Rio International Airport, which is a short<br />

40-minute drive. The ranch is transected by 20 miles of all-weather<br />

roads, which are supplemented by host of secondary roads.<br />

The land itself offers a changing panorama of sweeping views, ruggedly<br />

beautiful canyons, limestone caves, and valleys forested with a mix of<br />

pion pine, walnut, cedar, mountain laurel, persimmon and a variety of<br />

oaks. The diverse habitat is home to well-managed populations of native<br />

and exotic wildlife, including white-tailed deer, axis deer, blackbuck<br />

antelope, scimitar-horned oryx, gemsbok antelope, aoudad sheep, red<br />

sheep, Rio Grande turkeys and dove.<br />

Ranch inventory includes all the necessary feeders, blinds and watering<br />

stations to support a wildlife enterprise as well as a 15,000-squarefoot<br />

equipment building and an 800-square-foot shop to keep the<br />

operation running smoothly. Five water wells supply adequate water<br />

and the water distribution system includes 200,000 gallons of<br />

freshwater storage.<br />

When it is time to come inside, the 5,200-square-foot lodge,<br />

reminiscent of those found in the Rocky Mountains, is the perfect place<br />

to relax. The lodge, with its soaring ceilings, native rock floors and<br />

dry-stacked stone fireplace, has five bedrooms and three-and-a-half<br />

baths, easily accommodating family, friends and colleagues. To further<br />

enhance the experience, the lodge boasts a heated, saltwater swimming<br />

pool and Jacuzzi right outside. In addition, the ranch includes a bunk<br />

house, a pilots home, a ranch managers home, and quarters for ranch<br />

employees.<br />

Los Cañones Ranch offers a rare opportunity for buyers who want<br />

to enjoy the opportunities of ranch ownership immediately. All ranch<br />

equipment, furnishings and household goods convey with the purchase,<br />

so the new owners can begin living their dreams without delay.<br />

This one-of-a-kind property is offered for $1,550 per acre. To claim<br />

this dream for yourself, contact Howard W. Hood for a private showing.<br />

The 24nd Annual Outlook for <strong>Texas</strong> Land<br />

Markets provides information on a variety<br />

of legal, economic, social and natural<br />

resource issues influencing current land<br />

market dynamics.


Don’t Bet the Ranch<br />

on the Weather<br />

Insure pasture, forage land to mitigate risk<br />

s any seasoned cowboy knows, ranching is a gamble.<br />

You can’t predict which cards Mother Nature will deal<br />

you, or if the markets will work in your favor.<br />

If you own ranch property in the Lone Star state, you<br />

understand this too well. Every county in <strong>Texas</strong> was plagued<br />

by drought at least one out of the last five years. And in 2011,<br />

parched pastures led to a historic reduction in <strong>Texas</strong> cattle<br />

numbers, as ranchers reduced their herd size in order to cut<br />

their losses.<br />

With the approach of spring, improved moisture conditions in<br />

most <strong>Texas</strong> regions offer hope for better hay crops and greener<br />

rangeland this year than last.<br />

Still, if you’re a rancher or hay producer who would rather not<br />

gamble on the unknown, there is a way to hedge your bets: It’s<br />

called Pasture, Rangeland and Forage (PRF) Insurance.<br />

This risk management tool allows you to insure both<br />

improved and unimproved pasture, as well as land that you<br />

intend to use for hay production. PRF, by design, is used to<br />

insure against a decline in rainfall or vegetation for rangeland<br />

and perennial forages.<br />

A 184 Percent Return on Premiums in 2012<br />

For many landowners affected by drought, the program has<br />

been a blessing. <strong>Texas</strong> Farm Credit, a rural lender that offers<br />

insurance products to ranchers and farmers, reports that its<br />

PRF policy holders realized a 184 percent return on their<br />

premiums in 2012.<br />

One of those policyholders, a central <strong>Texas</strong> cow-calf producer,<br />

was particularly glad he purchased PRF insurance that year.<br />

“In 2012, which was one of the driest years this cattleman has<br />

experienced, he received indemnity payments that were more<br />

than five times the cost of his premium,” says his loan officer,<br />

Charles Holtkamp, vice president and Brenham branch<br />

manager for <strong>Texas</strong> Farm Credit.<br />

“PRF insurance gave him immediate financial relief to cover<br />

feed costs as well as extra time to evaluate his destocking options.<br />

Although conditions have improved, you can be sure<br />

he took out a PRF policy again last year,” Holtkamp says.<br />

Payouts Cover Feed Purchases, Lease Payments<br />

Similarly, Rachel Myers, director of insurance services for<br />

Great Plains Ag Credit in Amarillo, reports that PRF insurance<br />

22<br />

S p r i n g 2 0 1 4


has helped ease the financial burden on many producers throughout<br />

<strong>Texas</strong>, Oklahoma and New Mexico in recent years by providing<br />

timely payments to help cover the cost of purchasing additional feed<br />

and hay, or making lease payments.<br />

“Since 2011, rainfall in our region has been well below average, and<br />

thus forage production for most producers was reduced. As the<br />

drought continues to plague our region, and reduce or eliminate<br />

grazing and haying potential of the land, the PRF payments allow<br />

producers to continue to pay leases rather than give up land that<br />

they may never have another chance to operate,” Myers explains.<br />

For those who are weighing the pros and cons of PRF insurance,<br />

Myers offers this observation: “When livestock prices are higher,<br />

you stand to lose more if you have poor grass or a hay crop fails.” In<br />

addition to PRF insurance, she also suggests that ranchers consider<br />

purchasing broad-form livestock insurance or even full mortality<br />

coverage for high-value animals.<br />

Known by various names, including grass insurance, hay insurance<br />

and rainfall insurance, PRF insurance is a customizable product<br />

developed by the USDA’s Risk Management Agency, which also sets<br />

the rules and prices. With PRF, landowners and lessees can choose:<br />

• the specific months they want to be insured<br />

• the number of acres they want to insure<br />

• the type of land (hay or pasture) they want to insure<br />

• the percentage of average historic rainfall they want<br />

to insure<br />

In <strong>Texas</strong>, rainfall amounts are determined by the National Oceanic<br />

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which means that there<br />

are no reporting or record-keeping requirements for participants.<br />

Each two-month insurance interval stands alone, so even if a wet<br />

period immediately precedes a dry period, the dry months can<br />

still pay out.<br />

Decisions to Make Before You Sign Up<br />

Acreage – Individuals can insure all or part of their owned or leased<br />

property. If applicable, Farm Service Agency farm numbers or lease<br />

agreements are required to prove ownership and interest.<br />

Level – Coverage ranges from 70 to 90 percent of the average rainfall<br />

(or vegetation) index. The final grid index must come in below the<br />

chosen coverage level in order to trigger a payment.<br />

Protection Factor – This ranges from 60 to 150 percent and allows<br />

individualization based on the productivity of the insured property<br />

compared to the county average.<br />

Index Intervals – These are the specific two-month time periods<br />

during which data are collected in order to calculate the expected<br />

and final grid indices.<br />

PRF insurance is available from local crop insurance agents, including<br />

some Farm Credit lending cooperatives.<br />

Sign-Up and Payout Dates<br />

• Policy sign-up deadline – Nov. 15<br />

• Policy term – Jan. 1 to Dec. 31<br />

• Premiums due and payable – Sept. 30<br />

• Indemnities are paid after the RMA releases the final<br />

grid index, which is generally 60 days after the last<br />

day of the index interval. Example: For a January–<br />

February index interval, indemnities are calculated<br />

on May 1.<br />

• No reporting or record-keeping requirements. Claims<br />

are calculated and paid automatically when the final<br />

grid index is released.<br />

PRF Insurance Definitions<br />

Coverage Level – The percentage of historic average<br />

conditions your policy insures. Example: 75 percent in<br />

rainfall index means that you are insuring 75 percent<br />

of historic (1948–present) average precipitation.<br />

Final Grid Index (FGI) – The number that indicates the<br />

vegetative or rainfall condition for a grid during a specific<br />

interval. Example: 1.0 = average historic condition.<br />

Forage – Feed for livestock composed of plants grown<br />

for haying or grazing<br />

Grid – A 12 x 12–mile area for RI, and a 4.8 x 4.8–mile<br />

area for vegetation index<br />

Indemnity – The payment you receive<br />

Interval – The period during which acreage is insured.<br />

For rainfall index, intervals are two months, and the<br />

insured must select a minimum of two intervals. For<br />

vegetation index, intervals are three months, and the<br />

insured must select one or more intervals.<br />

Pasture – Land that is used for haying or grazing as a<br />

source of forage for livestock<br />

Rainfall Index (RI) – Provision used in <strong>Texas</strong>, Colorado,<br />

Montana, Oklahoma, Kansas and most other states.<br />

Uses NOAA precipitation data from multiple locations<br />

to measure precipitation in a grid.<br />

Rangeland – Native pasture on which livestock graze<br />

Trigger Index – The threshold for indemnity, determined<br />

by the policyholder’s coverage level. If the FGI is<br />

below the policyholder’s trigger index, an indemnity is<br />

paid. Example: If coverage level is 75 percent, the trigger<br />

index is .75. An indemnity will be paid if the FGI is below<br />

.75, but not if it is above .75.<br />

The Definition of Success:<br />

<strong>LAND</strong>, LIFESTYLE, LEGACY<br />

photos courtesy of New Story Media<br />

Webster’s dictionary defines success as, “the correct or desired result of<br />

an attempt.” Using that definition, Larry Jacobs of Jacobs Properties in<br />

Montgomery, <strong>Texas</strong> may just be the most successful man I have ever met.<br />

I haven’t looked at his bank statements. I don’t know what kind of car he<br />

drives and I haven’t been to his home. But, when I ask a man to tell me<br />

about his favorite things in the world and every answer encompasses his<br />

wife, his family, his work or his ranch, I know I have found a man who has<br />

discovered the secret to a happy life, a life built on the land, a lifestyle driven<br />

by the love of it and a legacy dedicated to preserving it.<br />

LARRY JACOBS<br />

broker spotlight<br />

What is the title on your business card?<br />

Broker. And that is all I need…just broker.<br />

When and how did you get started selling ranches?<br />

In general, I took an interest because my father loved investing<br />

in real estate. From the time I was a little guy, if he saw something<br />

he was interested in, I’d offer to go with him, look at it, walk it, find<br />

the best corners. When I got older, I kind of floundered around,<br />

started in engineering. Then, I decided real estate was what I<br />

really wanted to do. I took a few classes. Then I went into the Air<br />

Force Reserves. When I came out, I got my broker’s license and<br />

started doing that. Really, except for a few short periods of time, I<br />

was selling land.<br />

head of cattle right now.<br />

Can you tell which grandchildren might go into the ranching<br />

business and which may go into real estate?<br />

You know when we are doing it, they are all interested. They<br />

are all homeschooled, so they get a lot of time to interact. They<br />

really enjoy helping with the cows. They enjoy riding the horses.<br />

Getting the cows up when we work them, they enjoy that…but<br />

what is their career going to be like, who knows?<br />

Heck, when Tyler graduated from <strong>Texas</strong> Tech he had a degree<br />

in ranch and wildlife management and had been guiding deer<br />

hunts up in Michigan. He really kind of thought he would go into<br />

that kind of management. Then he started thinking about it and I<br />

said, “Well, if you can’t find anything else you want to do, you can<br />

always come home and get in real estate with me.” He thought<br />

about it a while and asked me why I hadn’t ever mentioned that<br />

before. I told him I just didn’t want to be pushy. And, home he<br />

came. Now, he is my right hand guy. He is innovative and will<br />

probably guide the way Jacobs Properties goes. Not that I am<br />

retiring, I love what I do.<br />

Sounds like you have a pretty close-knit and amazing family?<br />

Yeah, we are truly blessed. We raised our kids, kind of like I<br />

was raised, having the opportunity to be in the country, learn how<br />

to work, learn how to be in the woods and be self-sufficient. I try<br />

to keep them off cell phones and iPads when they are around me,<br />

because it drives me crazy. But, it’s gotten to where I am on it so<br />

much of the time, it is hard for me to criticize.<br />

What is the thing in life you are most proud of?<br />

You know, I guess I am most proud of the reputation our family<br />

has. Although, I am cautious to say that because it is a blessing,<br />

it’s not anything I have earned. But, I am pretty proud of the<br />

reputation our company has, and I guess, I, along with Beverly<br />

grew that. That is the main thing I am most proud of that I actually<br />

had something to do with.<br />

How many of your family are in the ranching business?<br />

My son and daughter and their spouses; and the grandchildren,<br />

we still have eight of them living on the ranch. One doesn’t. He is<br />

studying to be an EMT. Tyler is heavily involved. He is probably<br />

the driving force, with Beverly and I, but they all help us when<br />

we work cows and calves, vaccinate, de-horn and all those sorts<br />

of things.<br />

Beverly, my wife, she keeps the books, takes care of the bills<br />

and tells me when she’s out of money and that I need to go make<br />

a deal.<br />

We all kind of work together.<br />

So, on top of being a ranch broker, you also run a fully functional<br />

cattle ranch?<br />

Oh, you know, we have about 800 acres and a little over 200<br />

28<br />

S p r i n g 2 0 1 4<br />

What is the first ranch deal you worked on?<br />

Probably the first real ranch deal I worked on, I put a few<br />

partners together, me and a couple buddies and we bought 13<br />

sections out in Pumpville, <strong>Texas</strong> near Pandale Crossing on the<br />

Pecos River. It was a deal where we really looked at it as something<br />

we were going to enjoy. A lot of it was investment driven, but a lot<br />

of it was also about what we could do with the land.<br />

What is the strangest experience you have had showing a ranch?<br />

Well, one of the strangest experiences was on a listing I had,<br />

where there was another agent involved. She kind of just turned<br />

her clients over to me, but periodically, she would hand her camera<br />

over and ask the clients to take a picture of her in various poses in<br />

front of a scenic overlook or this and that. I thought it was kind<br />

of strange that she just turned it over to me and concentrated on<br />

taking her selfies and posing for the camera. It was kind of funny.<br />

What have you learned is the most important aspect of selling<br />

ranches?<br />

I think you have got to figure out what the buyer sees. We

My bulldozer, earphones in and cell phone in the truck<br />

have noticed that sometimes the buyer sees little things as big<br />

problems, an un-cleared brush pile, an abandoned truck in the<br />

field, loose boards on the barn. Sometimes they see those little<br />

problems as big headaches. You kind of have to figure out what<br />

the buyer is seeing and learn to address those concerns to get<br />

the best deal for everybody.<br />

How has the industry changed over the years?<br />

Technology! I remember when I got my first pager. First<br />

you had your pager, then your bag phone. I would walk around<br />

with a roll of quarters in my pocket for the pay phone. There<br />

used to be one on every corner. Now, you can’t find a pay phone<br />

anywhere.<br />

In general, how do you feel about the industry today?<br />

I love it! I get frustrated with a<br />

lot of the paperwork and industry<br />

association obligations, but my<br />

love of the land and the industry<br />

hasn’t changed.<br />

conservative state. From the politicians, to the churches, to the<br />

people, it is just a wonderfully conservative state, maybe not the<br />

most conservative, but we are right up there.<br />

The other thing I love about <strong>Texas</strong> is that you can go<br />

anywhere and find somebody to talk to. People are generally<br />

real friendly and open to helping their neighbors. I think that is<br />

what I truly love most about <strong>Texas</strong>.<br />

What is a typical day for Larry Jacobs?<br />

There are a couple of things. We get up, Tyler and I visit.<br />

Beverly and I visit. Do we have a crisis around the ranch? Do<br />

we have to take a horse to the vet? Do we have a calf problem?<br />

Do we have something we’ve got to do? Then, we generally<br />

get to the office about 9 a.m. or so and return calls, deal with<br />

What do you think is the greatest<br />

benefit of owning land?<br />

Well, you know, land is<br />

always a good investment. But,<br />

I think there are so many other<br />

intangibles to it…It is good for<br />

your mind to be out there, to get<br />

out in the country and get away<br />

from the city. It is a way of raising<br />

your family. Many generations<br />

lived their lives on the land and<br />

they really learned to work. They<br />

learned to keep commitments.<br />

They learned responsibility,<br />

responsibility for the foremen,<br />

for the animals. I just think there<br />

are whole lot of life lessons to be<br />

learned from living on the land.<br />

If you had to pick another<br />

career….any career…What would<br />

you do?<br />

Never thought about it. I enjoy<br />

doing it. Doing anything else<br />

really doesn’t ever cross my mine.<br />

This is what I love to do and I can’t<br />

imagine doing anything else.<br />

What is your favorite thing<br />

about <strong>Texas</strong>?<br />

advertising and set up appointments to show properties. If there<br />

isn’t too much to do, we head back out to the ranch, put out hay or<br />

cubes for the cows, fence repairs, there is always something to do<br />

or check on.<br />

Well no wonder you don’t dance anymore. Who needs dancing<br />

when there are stumps out there to be bulldozed?<br />

That’s no joke. You don’t even know. Tractors, mowers,<br />

bulldozers…those are all therapeutic. You get on, you quit thinking<br />

about the outside world and just enjoy the land. There is a lot to<br />

it, being able to get out there and cut the strings loose to the rest<br />

of the world.<br />

Five things at the top of your “Left to Do” list?<br />

You know, it is just frustrating not to be able to give you really<br />

cool answers, but you know, if a door opens and it looks interesting,<br />

you go through it. I don’t sit around and dwell on what I need<br />

to do to make my life complete. I am just enjoying today, I got a<br />

few plans for tomorrow and when I wake up in the morning with<br />

something I want to go do. I go do it.<br />

So, you are telling me your “To Do” list is done?<br />

What I am telling you is that I don’t have a list, but I am sure<br />

that I have a lot left to do in the future.<br />

the<br />

of FUTURE<br />

Real Estate MARKETING<br />

by Clover Carroll<br />

“A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time.” – Henry Ford<br />

You know that taking advantage of cutting-edge<br />

innovations will keep your business ahead. Here's a look<br />

at the future of real estate marketing: video. In June 2013,<br />

183 million Americans viewed more than 44 billion online<br />

videos. Currently one third of all online activity is spent<br />

watching video. Cisco predicts that within two years 90%<br />

of internet traffic will be video content. Companies are<br />

investing more in video as they realize the positive impact<br />

it has on their bottom dollar. As the matter of fact, it is<br />

estimated that next year, national video ad spending will<br />

increase from $1.97 billion to $5.71 billion.<br />

In the September issue of “Real Estate” magazine, Stephen<br />

Schweickart, CEO of VScreen, said, “The handwriting is<br />

on the wall. It’s not a matter of whether or not Realtors will<br />

incorporate video into their marketing … but rather how far<br />

behind they will fall before seeing the light.”<br />

VIDEO IN EMAIL<br />

Email campaigns are an important part of today's real<br />

estate market, but with the instant unsubscribe button you<br />

32<br />

S p r i n g 2 0 1 4<br />

have to work to keep your audience. Implementing video<br />

is a great way to do this. An email subject line with the<br />

word “video” results in 50% more opens than one without.<br />

Important: when you say video, there had better be a real<br />

link to go to. Don’t try to fool your customers, it could drive<br />

them away. Spammers don't have friends.<br />

Email clients can’t handle videos embedded directly<br />

into emails. However, you can get around this by using<br />

an image with a play button. Create a static image that is<br />

actually a link to a video; this can lead to 5-6x more clicks.<br />

VIDEO ON YOUR WEBSITE<br />

Adding video to all your web properties will direct more<br />

traffic to your business. Once you have invested in quality<br />

video, you want to use it to its full potential. It's got to be on<br />

the landing page. You want it front and center, not buried<br />

on an obscure page of your site. Just as your website is<br />

your virtual storefront, having video available when they<br />

land on your page is like handing them a nice cup of<br />

coffee and inviting them to have a seat.


To encourage even more involvement from your visitors,<br />

be sure to put actionable content next to the video, (i.e.<br />

"Click here for...."). Video coupled with actionable content<br />

is a great combination to elicit action from casual browsers.<br />

Not only can video direct repeat traffic to your website, but<br />

if you have compelling video, your customers will advertise<br />

for you. People love to share videos on the internet, and<br />

social media has made this easier than ever. Putting your<br />

corporate or marketing film on a shareable platform allows<br />

individuals to share the video with their family, friends and<br />

co-workers.<br />

The beauty of this medium is that it can potentially go viral;<br />

thousands or millions of hits equal free advertising for your<br />

business on a grand scale. And video is an easy way to<br />

draw people in because they feel more involved, even if<br />

they only click "Like".<br />

GET FILM<br />

Up until now, virtual tours have been your only option.<br />

Many realtors use this to simulate video. At this point, it<br />

is important to differentiate between film and video. In<br />

the old days "film" was a more expensive process shot<br />

on cellulose while "videos" were the amateur handheld<br />

camcorder variety. But as technology has advanced it's not<br />

uncommon for major motion pictures to be "filmed" with a<br />

digital camera, so now the terms can be used as more<br />

of a description of quality. Video is your wedding video<br />

from the 1980s; film is a beautiful cinematic expression of<br />

awesomeness. High quality film is the future.<br />

Film has an advantage over virtual tours for a myriad of<br />

reasons. Virtual tours (still images linked together and<br />

set to music) provide a limited view of the property and<br />

may require plug-ins to work. Most importantly, they offer<br />

nothing more than what was posted in the MLS listing.<br />

You have high-end clientele who can spot low quality<br />

in an instant; why offer them low-end, dated marketing<br />

materials? A cheap production only cheapens the property<br />

and your reputation. Film gives you an edge over your<br />

competitors and communicates to customers that you are<br />

serious about selling their property.<br />

Done well, film gives an emotional hook that invites<br />

potential clients to pursue more information. According to<br />

Vindico, a leading video ad server, 80% of online video ads<br />

are abandoned within the first half of the ad. Audiences<br />

can "tell the sell", and you want to capture their attention<br />

before they click off your site. How do you accomplish<br />

that? Tell them a story.<br />

IMPLEMENT BRANDED CONTENT<br />

Storytelling is a method brand marketers rely on to<br />

captivate, and film is now their chosen medium. Branded<br />

content blurs the line between conventional advertising<br />

and entertainment. It's a story that draws the viewer in, and<br />

it is highly branded. Branded content can amuse or inform.<br />

It delivers a chuckle, just for kicks. It's brought to you by a<br />

brand that leans more on emotional appeal than a heavyhanded<br />

sales pitch. You can implement branded content<br />

by telling your audience the story of your business,<br />

your property, your firm. Give them such a compelling<br />

experience that they will forward your film to their coworkers<br />

and friends, post it on their social media, and<br />

return to your site for more. Meanwhile, your business is<br />

getting marketed every time the film is viewed.<br />

AND DON'T FORGET CONTENT MARKETING<br />

Content marketing is another important component to<br />

reaching your audience. It's staying in touch with your<br />

customers, not necessarily to sell them something, but<br />

to establish yourself as a reliable, continuing source<br />

of information. This encourages ongoing business<br />

relationships and repeat business.<br />

Don't overlook social media such as blogs, Twitter,<br />

Pinterest, Linkedin and Facebook. These are perfect<br />

tools for content marketing. Instead of renting advertising<br />

space, you own the media and control your message. For<br />

example: Do you have experience in gardening, wildlife<br />

management, or have a great venison chili recipe? Offer<br />

these tidbits/services through your social media to direct<br />

traffic to your website. Keep your accounts updated<br />

regularly to build an audience (and make sure you have<br />

interesting content).<br />

In our media-driven society, you've got to be a cut above<br />

the rest. If your audience is not immediately captivated by<br />

your ad, they will tune out, click off or turn the page. With<br />

such high-quality technology now becoming accessible,<br />

you've got an incredible toolbox at your fingertips.<br />

Combining film with a powerful content marketing<br />

campaign is vital to staying up to date in today's market.<br />

AS A HABITAT<br />

MANAGEMENT TOOL<br />

by Ruben Cantu and Greg Simons<br />

Wildlife Biologists<br />

Wildlife Consultants, Inc.<br />

Grazing, like any tool, can be beneficial or damaging, depending<br />

on how it is applied.<br />

The duality of grazing (and a host of other habitat management<br />

tools) was first, and best, expressed in 1933, by Aldo Leopold,<br />

writing in the preface of his landmark book, Game Management:<br />

“The central thesis of game management is this: game can<br />

be restored by the creative use of the same tools which have<br />

heretofore destroyed it - ax, plow, cow, fire, and gun....”<br />

Whether grazing positively or negatively modifies the landscape,<br />

depends on the managers, their goals and their skills. The most<br />

successful grazing managers understand several basic concepts.<br />

36<br />

S p r i n g 2 0 1 4<br />

EVOLUTIONARY ROLE OF GRAZING ON RANGE<strong>LAND</strong> PLANTS<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> rangeland plants, especially grasses, evolved under<br />

grazing pressure from migrating herds of bison and other<br />

ungulates. The vast herds moved into an area; grazed intensely,<br />

removing mature or dead plant material, thereby invigorating<br />

new plant growth; disturbed the soil with their hooves, aerating<br />

the soil and increasing water percolation; and deposited<br />

manure, which added organic matter and enhanced fertility.<br />

Once the grass had been grazed down, the herds moved on.<br />

The grass and other plants rested and recovered until the herds<br />

returned.


CARRYING CAPACITY<br />

Experienced managers understand the concept of carrying<br />

capacity, meaning each piece of land has a number of animals<br />

that it can sustain without being damaged. Carrying capacity is<br />

dynamic, changing with the rainfall, amount of forage and other<br />

variables. To be accurate and effective, the carrying capacity<br />

must take into account both livestock and wildlife. It is a constant<br />

balancing act.<br />

Obviously, the number of livestock can be easily manipulated<br />

up and down based on the amount of forage available. Ranchers<br />

can buy or sell more depending on the conditions. Population<br />

management for wildlife is not so simple. Managers have a small<br />

window of opportunity each year to make population adjustments.<br />

As a result, successful managers determine what the carrying<br />

capacity is during “normal” times and manage for a lower number.<br />

This creates a nutritional buffer for the drought years and “gravy”<br />

for the normal and good years.<br />

BALANCING LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE<br />

Cattle, sheep and goats are complementary grazers, meaning<br />

they all have minimal dietary overlap. Under good range conditions<br />

with abundant forage, competition for food is not an issue. Cattle<br />

eat primarily grass. Sheep eat forbs, the plants that most people<br />

call weeds. Goats eat browse also known as brush.<br />

When it comes to wildlife, white-tailed deer prefer forbs and<br />

browse, while exotics such as axis deer eat a complex diet of grass,<br />

forbs, and browse. Therefore, there can be competition between<br />

livestock and wildlife when foodstuffs are limited, especially<br />

between white-tailed deer and sheep and goats, because of<br />

overlapping diets. (Sheep and goats can thrive in areas that are<br />

more arid, so they are generally found west of I-35.)<br />

In an operation with a livestock focus, experienced managers<br />

sometimes “mix-and-match” livestock to use the available forage<br />

most efficiently. In a pasture that is primarily brush, the herd may<br />

include a higher percentage of goats, while in a grass pasture,<br />

cattle may be the predominant animal. The composition of the<br />

herds depends on the composition of the vegetation and the<br />

rancher’s goals.<br />

In the Hill Country, there are innovative ranchers who use<br />

goats to manage cedar, prickly pear and other brush. When winter<br />

settles in and cedar and prickly pear are the only green plants,<br />

the Giles family, who operates Hillingdon Ranch near Comfort,<br />

turn their Angora billy goats into pastures with emerging cedar<br />

problems. Because the cedar is green, the billies eat it, keeping<br />

it in check. The family places mineral blocks in patches of prickly<br />

pear, which are also evergreen. The goats are drawn to the prickly<br />

pear by the mineral block and tempted to eat it because it’s green.<br />

Because of the potential for competition, many wildlife-focused<br />

ranches avoid or severely limit the number of sheep and goats.<br />

In the aforementioned example, the family’s primary income is<br />

derived from diverse livestock operation. The deer are managed<br />

to provide family-oriented, recreational hunting for long-time<br />

lease holders instead of trophy opportunities.<br />

Again, the composition of the herds depends on the composition<br />

of the vegetation and the rancher’s goals.<br />

CONTINUOUS VS ROTATIONAL GRAZING<br />

Grazing systems come in two basic forms: continuous or<br />

rotational. In a continuous grazing system, livestock are put<br />

into a pasture and left there as long as the pasture will support<br />

them. Continuous grazing requires very little labor, but it can<br />

create problems. Animals, like people, have food preferences.<br />

Some plants are just more palatable than others. If left in one<br />

place, cows, sheep and goats will selectively graze, continuously<br />

returning to their favorite plants. Over time, the constant grazing<br />

pressure, especially when combined with drought, can damage the<br />

plants’ roots, and eventually cause the preferred plants to die-off.<br />

When the preferred plants disappear, the livestock begin to<br />

seek out their second and third choices, applying the same<br />

intense pressure. If the cycle is not interrupted, even the second<br />

and third choice plants can be grazed out of existence, leaving<br />

only the plants the livestock by-passed, decreasing plant diversity,<br />

and severely diminishing the pasture’s overall productivity.<br />

To minimize these problems, experienced managers implement<br />

a rotational grazing system, which means that they control the<br />

amount of grazing pressure applied to their pastures by balancing<br />

the number of animals with the available forage and limiting the<br />

amount of time individual pastures are grazed. In this system,<br />

livestock are rotated through a series of pastures on a schedule<br />

that is determined by the forage’s condition. Rotational grazing<br />

uses livestock to mimic the movement of migrating herds, allowing<br />

pastures to rest and recover between grazing sessions. Instead<br />

of relying on a calendar or a set schedule to ascertain when the<br />

livestock need to be moved or how long a pasture needs to be<br />

rested, the managers rely on their eyes to evaluate the forage and<br />

rate of growth.<br />

OWNERSHIP OF LIVESTOCK<br />

While it is very common for people to have sole ownership of<br />

the livestock that graze on their property, it is not necessary to<br />

become a cowboy to enjoy the benefits of grazing. Some people<br />

own livestock in partnership with other people. In many cases, one<br />

partner is an experienced rancher, who oversees the livestock and<br />

its care in addition to his financial commitment, and the other is a<br />

landowner who also contributes financially and allows his ranch to<br />

be used for grazing. The co-owners share in the profits or losses.<br />

Another common option is a grazing lease. In this scenario, a<br />

landowner leases the grazing rights on his land to a rancher for<br />

compensation. The grazing lease is a legal contract that spells out<br />

the duration of lease, the number of livestock allowed, the price<br />

and any other specific requirements including repairs, damages<br />

and requirements for renewals. The rancher is responsible for<br />

providing and caring for the livestock. The landowner is guaranteed<br />

a payment.<br />

BENEFITS OF GRAZING<br />

Of all the management tools identified by Leopold, grazing is<br />

arguably the best one available to people wanting to improved<br />

wildlife habitat. First and foremost, grazing is part of the<br />

ecological and evolutionary process of the land, so managers are<br />

just harnessing the power of nature, not imposing a man-made<br />

process. Well-managed grazing can invigorate plant growth and<br />

increase plant diversity, while improving soil fertility and soil<br />

health by releasing nutrients and returning organic matter to the<br />

soil. Finally, grazing is economically feasible. Unlike mechanical<br />

or chemical control, livestock grazing, especially under a lease<br />

agreement, doesn’t require extensive inputs, equipment or labor.<br />

Plus, it is the only tool that offers an opportunity for a direct<br />

monetary return.<br />

Grazing is equal parts art and science, its success depends on<br />

the skilled hands wielding the tool.<br />

tools can play in improving your land, contact Wildlife Consultants at<br />

CONSERVING<br />

A LEGACY<br />

Eighteen years ago, Randy Rehmann owned one acre of land. Today,<br />

he owns two ranches in <strong>Texas</strong>, one in Colorado and is negotiating for<br />

another <strong>Texas</strong> property. “I’ve always loved land,” Rehmann said. “I just<br />

never had any.” He traces this lifelong appreciation to five acres near<br />

Round Top, which were owned by his grandmother. “As kids, we spent<br />

a great deal of time running around barefoot and terrorizing anything<br />

that swam, crawled or flew. It wasn’t a big piece of land, but we made<br />

big memories.”<br />

Rehmann began shopping for his first ranch<br />

10 years before he could actually afford to<br />

purchase one. He searched ranchland ads,<br />

clipped them, and stuffed them in a folder<br />

for future reference. Window shopping for<br />

ranches provided a pleasant distraction as<br />

he was building his mechanical contracting<br />

company, Dynamic Systems.<br />

Dynamic Systems got its start on a Wednesday<br />

in October 1998, when Rehmann and his coworkers<br />

got laid off. The company that he was<br />

working for at the time folded in the midst of a<br />

high-profile, tight turnaround microelectronics<br />

project for the University of <strong>Texas</strong>. Rehmann<br />

and a group of his co-workers decided not to<br />

abandon the job. They finished it, exceeding<br />

expectations and launching Dynamic Systems<br />

in the process.<br />

Today, Rehmann serves as Chairman and<br />

CEO. The company has become a worldclass<br />

leader in fabricating and installing<br />

sophisticated process and high-purity piping<br />

systems, process exhaust, HVAC piping/sheet<br />

metal and sanitary plumbing. Dynamic System<br />

maintains its corporate headquarters in Austin<br />

and branch offices in Dallas, San Antonio,<br />

Houston, Boston, Phoenix and Poughkeepsie,<br />

NY.<br />

As the business grew, Rehmann began<br />

shopping for land in earnest. Ironically, he<br />

bought the first ranch he looked at, signing<br />

the papers in October 1995. Despite its prime<br />

Hill Country location, he admits that many<br />

people would’ve passed it by. The land had<br />

access challenges due to easement issues<br />

and had been severely overgrazed. Fences<br />

were almost non-existent. There were only<br />

two water sources on the entire property.<br />

Wildlife management was not on the owner’s<br />

agenda. In fact, the doe:buck ratio was 14:1.<br />

“Basically, it was a cedar brake with a lot<br />

of potential. Fortunately, I’ve always liked<br />

43


to build things and solve problems. It’s a rewarding challenge to make<br />

something from nothing and figure out workable solutions when people<br />

say it can’t be done,” Rehmann said. “Plus, its name was the Double R<br />

Ranch. It just felt right.”<br />

In the ensuing years, Rehmann and his family have done a lot of work.<br />

They’ve built roads and high fences, installed water sources, spot treated<br />

for undesirable plants, cleared cedar and burned almost 5,000 bussized<br />

piles of the encroaching tree.<br />

“We spent the first full year undoing what had been done and the next<br />

four adding human habitat like fences, roads and housing,” Rehmann<br />

said. “Since then, we’ve done some sort of habitat work on the ranch<br />

every week for the last 18 years.”<br />

Early on, Rehmann learned not to share his projects before his vision<br />

was realized. When the family acquired the Double R, it had a small seep<br />

spring that was surrounded by a thick stand of cedar. One day, in the<br />

middle of transforming the seep spring into a large rocked pond complete<br />

with a dam, Rehmann brought his wife and daughter to see the progress.<br />

At the time, the progress was rough-scraped bare ground, uprooted dead<br />

cedars, piles of rocks and a puddle of water the size of a truck hood.<br />

“I was puffed up, because I knew how far we’d come, but the look on<br />

my wife’s face told me she wasn’t pleased at all,” Rehmann said. “My<br />

daughter said, ‘Oh my gosh, Dad, you ruined it.’” He laughed and noted<br />

that now, the reworked spring, which has been dubbed Lake Louise,<br />

is one of their favorite places on the ranch, and this story is one of his<br />

favorite memories.<br />

While the habitat work and problem solving have increased the value of<br />

the land, the efforts have paid dividends far beyond financial ones. The<br />

blood, sweat and laughter have given the Rehmann family a place that<br />

is truly their own and a shared passion for the outdoors. Today, Randy<br />

and his wife of 35 years, Debbie, spend as much time, as possible, on the<br />

land with their now-grown children and their families.<br />

“My goal is to leave the land better than I found it, but along the way,<br />

I get to share it with other people,” said Rehmann. “My kids bring<br />

their friends, many of whom are young married couples with small<br />

children, and I get to watch the love of the outdoors being passed from<br />

generation to generation. Frankly, though, nothing is better than seeing<br />

your grandchild get excited about being outside.”<br />

His experience with the first ranch inspired Rehmann to acquire a<br />

second property near Bracketville and a third property in Colorado. The<br />

ranch under negotiation is in the Hill Country. All are fixer-uppers. His<br />

experience working with government agencies in Colorado has made<br />

him appreciate Texans’ views of private land stewardship.<br />

“In Colorado, no one represents the viewpoint of the private landowner,”<br />

he said. “It is very hard to accomplish things, because the powers-that-be<br />

don’t believe that private landowners can -- or will -- do the right thing<br />

for the land. In <strong>Texas</strong>, people understand there would be almost no<br />

conservation without the efforts of private landowners.”<br />

Rehmann was already interested in wildlife management, private property<br />

issues and conservation when he met Kirby Brown, then-Executive Vice<br />

President for the <strong>Texas</strong> Wildlife Association, as they both served on the


Bethany Lutheran Church Board of Directors together. Brown introduced<br />

him to TWA, and Rehmann, although he was a relatively new landowner,<br />

quickly found himself involved and on the fast track to leadership.<br />

TWA represents 6,500 members who own and manage almost 40<br />

million acres of land. Rehmann served as President from 2007-2009. He<br />

then took the helm of the <strong>Texas</strong> Wildlife Association Foundation, a 501(c)<br />

(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing ethical environmental<br />

education about wildlife and habitat conservation to Texans of all ages,<br />

serving as President from 2011 to present. And, most recently joined the<br />

board of the <strong>Texas</strong> Agricultural Land Trust. In 2013, he was named <strong>Texas</strong><br />

Outdoorsman of the Year.<br />

“I like being involved, because every day is an opportunity for a solution,<br />

and decisions Ware made by those who show up,” Rehmann said. “If<br />

people aren’t willing to stand for a cause, then the cause goes away.”<br />

“As a society, we can’t afford to let open space land and our natural<br />

resource base go away, and it’s imperative that rural landowners be<br />

heard, despite the growing din of urban issues,” he said. Rehmann sees<br />

a big role for new landowners in the conservation conversation, because<br />

they bring different perspectives, ideas and experiences that often bridge<br />

the gap between urban and rurWal <strong>Texas</strong>.<br />

“The responsibility of land stewardship is a serious one,” Rehmann said.<br />

“When you do the right thing for the land, the habitat and the animals,<br />

then you do the right thing for all of the people, whether they live in the<br />

country or the city.”

Hats off to the Cowboy!<br />

The Tenth Annual National Day of the Cowboy - Saturday, July 26, <strong>2014</strong><br />

by Bethany Braley<br />

History<br />

Sponsored in the U.S. Senate in 2005, 2006, and 2007, by Wyoming’s late U.S. Senator, Craig Thomas, the National Day of the<br />

Cowboy is a day set aside to celebrate the contribution of the Cowboy and Cowgirl to America’s culture and heritage. In 2008, the<br />

National Day of the Cowboy resolution was sponsored simultaneously in the U.S. House of Representatives (for the first time) by<br />

Arizona’s U.S. Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and in the U.S. Senate by Senator Mike Enzi, WY. It passed in the Senate and the<br />

House concurrently, naming Saturday, July 26, 2008 as the 4th Annual National Day of the Cowboy.<br />

On Friday, June 20, 2008, the National Day of the Cowboy resolution also passed in the Arizona State Legislature, making Arizona<br />

the first state to pass the resolution. We asked Arizona Representative, Jennifer Burns, to sponsor the resolution, which she readily<br />

agreed to do. In thinking it over though, Ms. Burns felt it would be more meaningful if it was sponsored by Senators Jake Flake and Jack<br />

Brown, the two remaining Cowboys in the Arizona legislature. Senators Flake and Brown both accepted that honor, but sadly, Jake Flake<br />

passed away before he was able to introduce the resolution. However, it was subsequently introduced in his honor, by Jack Brown, and<br />

passed easily and concurrently in both the Arizona House and the Senate. In 2009, the resolution passed in New York, <strong>Texas</strong>, Oklahoma,<br />

Kansas and Arizona. It was also proclaimed by a number of governors, mayors and town councils.<br />

In the words of the former President Bush, “We celebrate the Cowboy as a symbol of the grand history of the American West. The<br />

Cowboy’s love of the land and love of the country are examples for all Americans.”<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> Legislation<br />

NationalDayoftheCowboy.com<br />

As some of you know, I recently completed a trip through <strong>Texas</strong> in an effort to determine what steps we could take to ensure <strong>Texas</strong><br />

is on board for passing the NDOC as a permanent bill in their legislature when next they convene in 2015. I feel strongly that if we could<br />

get <strong>Texas</strong> to commit to introducing and passing the NDOC as a bill seeking permanent status for the Day of the Cowboy, we could more<br />

easily get other states to follow suit more quickly.<br />

I started out in El Paso. Thanks to Bernie Sargent, who is a long time NDOC supporter there and who also ramrods the NDOC<br />

celebration each year at the impressive El Paso County History Museum, I was able to meet on Monday with Michael Breitinger, Chief of<br />

Staff for Representative Joe Pickett, and on Tuesday with Anjelika Lewis, District Director of District 76 and a member of Representative<br />

Naomi Gonzales’ staff. I reviewed the NDOC campaign status with both Michael and Anjelika, emphasizing that people around the<br />

country want to know where <strong>Texas</strong> is in the process of making the NDOC permanent. They both understood the economic and cultural<br />

significance of this effort and both could see that it’s important for <strong>Texas</strong> to finally make it permanent after passing it three times as a<br />

resolution.<br />

Ms. Lewis also offered to convene a group of 6 legislators from that district in <strong>2014</strong> so that Bernie and I could speak<br />

directly to all of them at once and thus perhaps, increase the number of co-sponsors for the bill in 2015. I told her I<br />

would be more than happy to come back to El Paso to speak to such a group, so we’ll be working on setting that up for next y e a r<br />

sometime.<br />

On Wednesday, I drove to Austin and met with Nathan McDaniel, the Policy Analyst on the staff of Senator Donna<br />

Campbell. We talked about the project for quite some time and although Senator Campbell was in surgery (she is a surgeon) at<br />

the time, Nathan felt certain she would be a willing co-sponsor for the NDOC bill in 2015. There is a small problem here<br />

however, having to do with <strong>Texas</strong> election years that end in the number 2 (i.e.2012). It seems those elected that year,<br />

must draw straws the following year, half of whom will get short straws. Those getting the short straws must run for<br />

re-election in <strong>2014</strong>. Senator Campbell did draw a short straw, so we will not know for certain until November <strong>2014</strong><br />

elections, whether or not she will still be a Senator and thus available to sponsor the bill for us.<br />

I think this broader approach is a good idea for every state we are working on, because not only does it<br />

give us added protection for the bill, but it is also likely to have the effect of engaging more organizations in<br />

celebrating the NDOC, which the Goodnight Museum, the <strong>Texas</strong> History Museum, the New Mexico History<br />

Museum and The Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe, are all now considering.<br />

Now that seven states have passed the NDOC bill in perpetuity, I am very encouraged with how the NDOC<br />

campaign is growing, especially since Kansas will be passing it in January and, I believe we will also be able to<br />

achieve permanent passage in Idaho and Washington in early <strong>2014</strong> as well. Board members and I have chosen<br />

additional states on which to focus our efforts in <strong>2014</strong>, including Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and<br />

Colorado. If you are interested in lending a hand in <strong>2014</strong> in any of the 43 remaining states, please contact me at<br />

The Ranch Brigade<br />

PRODUCING BEEF AND LEADERS


a theme of stewardship,” Holdsworth said. “Stewardship combines<br />

appreciation and respect with knowledge and action.”<br />

The cadre of camps can accommodate 168 young people each summer.<br />

As the <strong>Texas</strong> Brigades’ reputation has grown, admission has become<br />

increasingly competitive. Cadets are 13-17 years old and come from all<br />

walks of life.<br />

“The Brigades aren’t just for kids who hunt, fish and ranch, they are for<br />

young people who benefit from the efforts of private land stewards –<br />

that’s all of them,” Holdsworth said.<br />

In fact, the inaugural Ranch Brigade included a young man from<br />

Manhattan, New York, who had spent several summers attending<br />

enrichment programs at Harvard University, and a young woman, who<br />

currently lives in San Antonio, but has counted nine different countries<br />

as home, as well as ranch kids from all over <strong>Texas</strong>. The group was 50<br />

percent male and 50 percent female.<br />

The Ranch Brigade<br />

by Lorie Woodward Cantu<br />

The Ranch Brigade is the most recent incarnation of one man’s vision.<br />

Tasked with youth outreach, Dr. Dale Rollins, a then-Extension Wildlife<br />

Specialist with <strong>Texas</strong> A&M AgriLife Extension, envisioned equipping<br />

young people with leadership, communication, and critical thinking<br />

skills, using hands-on experience with the biology and behavior of<br />

bobwhite quail as the teaching tool.<br />

“Dale’s idea translated into the Bobwhite Brigade, a camp unlike any<br />

other,” said Helen Holdsworth, executive director of <strong>Texas</strong> Brigades<br />

and TWA Conservation Legacy Program Director. “Instead of dances<br />

and swimming pools, it was founded on science, team building and<br />

leadership development. It was unconventional, but it worked -- and<br />

worked well.”<br />

Since that first camp held in 1993, the <strong>Texas</strong> Brigades program has<br />

expanded to include: the Rolling Plains Bobwhite Brigade, the South<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> Bobwhite Brigade, the North <strong>Texas</strong> Buckskin Brigade, the South<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> Buckskin Brigade, the Bass Brigade, the Waterfowl Brigade,<br />

and, in 2013, the Ranch Brigade. Although the <strong>Texas</strong> Brigades has a<br />

state office that provides support services including recruitment,<br />

registration, marketing, and advertising, each individual camp is<br />

developed, staffed and funded by a local volunteer committee.<br />

“While each camp has its own individual flavor, they are all built on<br />

“Our goal is to create ‘conservation ambassadors,’ young people who<br />

are equipped with fact-based information, hands-on experience and<br />

the confidence to be effective leaders in their communities and in their<br />

careers,” Holdsworth said.<br />

And the training shows. In fact, Chris Farley was inspired to develop<br />

the Ranch Brigade after encountering “shining stars” in the TCU Ranch<br />

Management Program, where he is Assistant Director.<br />

“Those students just stood out,” Farley said. “They were knowledgeable,<br />

confident, and articulate – and they were all graduates of the Brigade.”<br />

To learn more, he volunteered to work with Dr. Rollins at a Bobwhite<br />

Brigade camp in 2011.<br />

“Up front, I admitted to Dale that I was attending selfishly because<br />

I wanted to teach land stewardship and beef production,” Farley<br />

said. “As each generation moves further from the soil, our collective<br />

understanding of production agriculture diminishes. My passion is<br />

battling ag illiteracy.” He came away from his Brigade experience even<br />

more determined to create a camp that focused on beef production<br />

from gate to plate.<br />

Over the course of two years, Farley simultaneously developed the<br />

Ranch Brigade curriculum, its steering committee and volunteer base.<br />

The adults who volunteer their time are experts in their respective fields<br />

and all have a passion for youth and natural resources, he said. Many of<br />

the volunteers see their participation as a way to give back. They want<br />

Ranch Brigade. He graduated from the first Bobwhite Brigade, the TCU<br />

Ranch Management Program, and earned a BBA from TCU. Today, he<br />

oversees his family’s diversified businesses that include ranching, real<br />

estate, manufacturing, and Reata Restaurants.<br />

Micallef said, “We are providing young people with the most current<br />

information available with the goal of creating the next generation<br />

of leaders. We want to inspire them to do great things. Many people<br />

believe that our best and brightest should be doctors, lawyers or Wall<br />

Street financiers, but we need the same smart people involved in<br />

agriculture and natural resources if we have any hope of keeping the<br />

productivity going.”<br />

In the past decade, Micallef has noted an increased interest in agriculture<br />

as an industry that offers both domestic and global opportunities.<br />

Recently, he reviewed the business plans for two projects: a feedlot<br />

in Turkey and a processing plant in Tanzania, designed to conform to<br />

Halal laws and supply the Islamic market.<br />

“The demand for food, fiber and shelter just keeps growing,” Micallef<br />

said. “The next generation of leaders is facing a world of opportunities<br />

and a world of challenges, so they have to be prepared.”<br />

Because both the opportunities and the challenges are real, the expert<br />

volunteers don’t lower their expectations.<br />

“As we were developing the curriculum, one veteran volunteer, who is<br />

also one of the state’s foremost range specialists, told me, ‘Don’t you<br />

dare dummy this down. Talk to the kids just like you would talk with<br />

any other producers,’” Farley said.<br />

Taking that advice Farley built the curriculum around the “three keys to<br />

sustainable ranching”: ecology, economics and enjoyment. These keys<br />

also provide the framework for learning at TCU’s Ranch Management<br />

Program.<br />

“Ecology and economics have always gotten the lion’s share of attention<br />

because they are essential, but there is a very human element, too,”<br />

Farley said. “If young people don’t enjoy the time they spend on the<br />

land, they’re not going to stay there.” But before anyone can enjoy an<br />

experience, whether it’s ranching or a camp, they have to be engaged,<br />

he said. To engage them, you have to get their attention.<br />

Within three hours of arrival, the Brigade cadets were assisting with<br />

the necropsy of a cow, following the digestive system from beginning<br />

to end to get a complete understanding of cattle as grazing animals<br />

and tying the stock’s productivity directly to the availability of forage.<br />

Ecology. They also dissected the reproductive tract to set the stage<br />

for discussions of fertility. Economics. While veterinarians oversaw<br />

the necropsies and explained the systems, the students were active<br />

participants, learning with their eyes, ears, and hands. Engagement<br />

that leads to enjoyment.<br />

Alex Jurica, a senior from Missouri City, <strong>Texas</strong>, who has set her sights on<br />

vet school at <strong>Texas</strong> A&M University, said, “Starting with the necropsy,<br />

our leaders showed us how everything fit together from the anatomy<br />

to stewardship and livestock handling to marketing. They taught us all<br />

of the things that make it possible to produce cattle economically and<br />

sustainably.” In the three years since she began high school, Jurica has<br />

amassed a show string, including one Brahman and four Beefmaster<br />

heifers, that she plans to use as the foundation of her own purebred<br />

herd in the future.<br />

She continued, “Plus, you are learning from people who have been<br />

where you are and are now showing you where you can go.”<br />

To keep the students engaged during the days that started at 6:30 a.m.<br />

and lasted until almost midnight, the steering committee alternated<br />

30-minute classroom sessions with field experiences.<br />

Taylor Schwartz, a junior from Wall, <strong>Texas</strong>, near San Angelo, said, “The<br />

camp is science-based and hands-on. Everything we learned inside, we<br />

went outside and learned it again in a hands-on manner.” His family<br />

farms in several locations in the state, but Schwartz is interested in<br />

diversifying their operation by adding a livestock component once he<br />

completes his post-high school education.<br />

The outdoor activities ranged from plant identification, livestock<br />

handling, and water percolation demonstrations to friendly<br />

competitions that ran the gamut from twice-daily quiz bowls to hay<br />

stacking and goat milking contests. Point totals were kept as the four,<br />

five-member teams battled for the coveted Top Herd title. The teams<br />

were motivated to earn bragging rights, not win prizes, although prizes<br />

were given, Schwartz said.<br />

“Come expecting to learn a lot. Don’t expect it to be easy and think that<br />

it’s okay to just go through the motions,” Schwartz, who is also an Eagle<br />

Scout, said. “You’ll be tested. Slacking is not an option, because your<br />

team needs the best you have.”<br />

The competition is just beginning when the Ranch Brigade ends.<br />

Cadets work toward scholarships, and the right to come back to the<br />

next summer’s Ranch Brigade as an Assistant Herd Leader, by giving<br />

presentations about natural resources and beef production in their<br />

communities, amassing points for each outreach activity. The cadets<br />

return home inspired by the experience and eager to pass along their<br />

hard-earned knowledge.<br />

Jurica said, “If we don’t learn how to lead, how will we show the<br />

generation after us? If we don’t lead, they’ll be lost.”<br />

RANCHERS FARMERS<br />

Extend Helping Hand<br />

by Dee Lackey<br />

The year is 1953 … The US is engaged in a war with Korea,<br />

Eisenhower is in the White House and <strong>Texas</strong> is in the throes of a<br />

devastating drought. West <strong>Texas</strong> Rehabilitation Center is organized<br />

in Abilene, <strong>Texas</strong> to care for children suffering from the debilitating<br />

effects of polio and cerebral palsy.<br />

Fast forward to <strong>2014</strong> … West <strong>Texas</strong> Rehab Center is the premiere<br />

provider of physical rehabilitation and communication services<br />

for children and adults – regardless of financial circumstances --<br />

throughout the vast West Central <strong>Texas</strong> region, where dry times still<br />

prevail and rain events are infrequent but front page news when they<br />

occur.<br />

Partnering to assist these patients in overcoming the disabling effects<br />

of illness and injury are big-hearted ranchers, farmers and agribusiness<br />

owners who’re “riding” for WTRC, lending their own “brand”<br />

of support through a unique fundraising campaign -- Round-Up for<br />

Rehab.<br />

Prominent Fort Chadbourne, <strong>Texas</strong> ranchers Conda and Edna Wylie<br />

donated the first pen of steers to be sold to benefit the Center’s<br />

operations in 1960. Now an integral part of Rehab’s heritage, Round-<br />

Up makes a significant difference in the lives of Rehab patients, like<br />

five-year-old Cameron who’s too busy climbing on the Center’s new<br />

therapeutic playground to notice ranchers are equally busy. Their<br />

goal is to round up livestock and cash donations, primarily in the fall<br />

via special sales and events, to assist WTRC campus operations in<br />

Abilene, San Angelo and Ozona.<br />

Cameron’s regimen at Rehab includes sessions in physical and<br />

occupational therapy as well as speech where the therapy team<br />

works weekly to help him overcome the effects of developmental<br />

delay and seizure disorder. “WT Rehab has been our anchor,” says<br />

mom Stephanie, “even in times when we were without insurance<br />

coverage, we’ve never been without care.” His story is one of many<br />

made possible by a loving family, conscientious staff, state-of-the-art<br />

facilities and generous supporters.<br />

Volunteer Round-Up community chairmen in the Big Country and<br />

Concho Valley, joined by Honorary Chairman and western entertainer<br />

Red Steagall, ask their neighbors to join the drive which will provide<br />

operational dollars to care for the 500 individuals who’re served daily<br />

by West <strong>Texas</strong> Rehab therapists, who have appropriate licensing<br />

and/or certifications. Rehab’s specialty services include physical<br />

and occupational therapy, speech and audiology, employer services,<br />

orthotics and prosthetics, pediatric services, aquatic therapy, family<br />

support services, retired senior volunteer program and Hospice of the<br />

Big Country.<br />

“The combined support of ranchers, farmers, agri-businessmen<br />

and women plus a cadre of volunteers illustrates the dedication and<br />

effort that has sustained West <strong>Texas</strong> Rehab Center for 60 years,”<br />

adds WTRC President Woody Gilliland. “And they’re the reason this<br />

organization can look to the future with confidence and pride.”<br />

• CONSERVATION LEGACY<br />

• WATER POLICY<br />

• PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS<br />

• YOUTH HUNTING PROGRAM<br />

• BIG GAME AWARDS<br />

In 2013, the <strong>Texas</strong> Wildlife Association celebrated a record year of program<br />

success. And we’re working hard to make <strong>2014</strong> another banner year by<br />

better serving <strong>Texas</strong> wildlife and its habitat, protecting private property<br />

rights, promoting Hunting Heritage and conservation, and educating all<br />

Texans on the public values of wildlife on private land.<br />

Water is an extremely important natural resource issue for <strong>Texas</strong> private<br />

land stewards and for <strong>Texas</strong>. To better utilize the expertise of TWA<br />

volunteer leaders who have experience in the water policy arena, TWA<br />

recently established a Water Advisory Committee.<br />

In addition, TWA is engaged in the navigable streams issue and the private<br />

property rights questions associated with it. TWA supports efforts and<br />

solutions to create a more transparent and predictable process for private<br />

landowners involved in navigable water processes and regulatory actions.<br />

The organization is also keenly interested in the state’s prioritization of State<br />

Water Plan projects and their funding. It is imperative that the interests of<br />

rural <strong>Texas</strong> and the conservation efforts of private land stewards, on whose<br />

land the first raindrop principally falls, are represented. TWA is committed<br />

to being such an advocate, on behalf of its members.<br />

TWA Conservation Legacy program efforts in 2013 reached a record total<br />

of 448,265 youth and adults with natural resource education material. The<br />

2013 total represented an increase of over 146,000 youth and adult impacts,<br />

compared to 2012. The largest segment of Conservation Legacy impacts<br />

occurred in the Learning Across New Dimensions in Science (L.A.N.D.S.)<br />

outreach efforts, with Discovery Trunks (80,673 student impacts), Wildlife<br />

by Design (31,863 student impacts), “Critter Connections” publication<br />

(172,379 distributed copies), Youth on-demand Webinars (11,533 viewers),<br />

and Distance Learning (60,972 viewers). Forty-six schools and over 6,900<br />

students participated in the L.A.N.D.S. Intensive program education<br />

efforts.<br />

The <strong>Texas</strong> Youth Hunting Program, a successful program co-sponsored<br />

by TWA and the <strong>Texas</strong> Parks and Wildlife Department, conducted 217<br />

hunts in the 2013-14 hunting season. A total of 3,327 youth and adults<br />

participated and enjoyed the experience, because of the generosity and<br />

support of 191 landowners, who made the weekends possible. Nearly 1,500<br />

volunteers across the state were essential to the program’s success. January<br />

featured three “Super Hunts,” hosted by the Cherry <strong>Spring</strong>s Wildlife<br />

Management Association (WMA), the Harper WMA, and the Cave Creek<br />

WMA, the largest with 65 hunters. The Louie Schreiner YO Memorial<br />

Hunt was also conducted in January.<br />

The <strong>Texas</strong> Big Game Awards continues to receive entries from hunters and<br />

landowners for the 2013-14 hunting season. <strong>Texas</strong> Big Game Awards, cosponsored<br />

by TWA and the <strong>Texas</strong> Parks and Wildlife Department, honors<br />

the tradition of hunting, while providing participants with the knowledge<br />

that hunting equals habitat. For the 2012-13 season, <strong>Texas</strong> Big Game<br />

Awards received 823 qualified scored entries, 124 youth division entries,<br />

223 first harvest entries, and it recognized 271 landowners. <strong>Texas</strong> Big<br />

Game Awards Sportsman’s Celebrations in <strong>2014</strong> are: June 7 – Lubbock,<br />

June 28 – Brenham, July 11 – San Antonio, and August 9 – Kerrville.<br />

WHERE IT BEGAN —<br />

<strong>Texas</strong> Wildlife Association was founded in 1985 to fight efforts in<br />

Austin that would’ve denied <strong>Texas</strong> landowners the opportunity to<br />

use high fences as wildlife management tools on their properties.<br />

THE FIGHT CONTINUES...<br />

• To reform eminent domain laws so <strong>Texas</strong> landowners are seated at the<br />

decision-making table, ably protecting their rights, with full access<br />

and transparency<br />

• To reaffirm and maintain that groundwater is a vested property right of<br />

the landowner<br />

• To convince courts of law that property rights must be honored<br />

• To strengthen border security, and protect <strong>Texas</strong> landowners’ property<br />

and way of life<br />

• To maintain and improve landowner liability protections<br />

• To secure more transparent and predictable process for private<br />

landowners involved in navigable water proceedings and regulatory actions<br />

OUR FIGHT WILL NEVER END!<br />

BELLA RIVA “La Rotunda” - ONE OF THE WORLD’S GREAT ESTATES<br />

A rare opportunity to live in a work of art, this Grand Italian Palazzo on Lake Travis was fashioned<br />

after Andrea Palladio’s famous “Villa Rotunda” in Vicenza, Italy. Some of his most influential villas<br />

survive in the Veneto region around Venice, Italy. Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) remains the most<br />

influential architect in the history of architecture. This romantic palazzo has 9,760 sq. ft. of museum<br />

quality construction and showcases classic Italian architecture with rich mahogany, imported<br />

Italian tile and Carrara marble throughout. Designed and built by one of the country’s foremost<br />

entrepreneurs for this own personal estate, with all the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era yet<br />

all the modern conveniences for grand scale entertaining and comfortable family living. Showcasing<br />

classic Italian architecture and a staggering 270-degree Lake Travis panorama and resting on a<br />

private, 16-acre waterfront, hill-top peninsula overlooking Lake Travis, the first view of this palatial<br />

estate is captured from an awe-inspiring stone-and-grass drive lined with ivy-covered walls. Looking<br />

down from the hillcrest drive, the villa’s bold silhouette stands out magnificently against the calm,<br />

blue waters of the lake. Built in 2004 with 8 bedrooms, 9 baths, and 8 living areas by prominent<br />

Austin architect, David Shiflet, staying true to Palladio’s original “Villa Rotunda” concept, which<br />

was laid out in a symmetrical axis with archways leading to complimentary wings and loggias. At the<br />

very heart of the home is a magnificent grand rotunda with a massive domed ceiling that draws the<br />

eye up, upward and around. Exquisite Venetian moldings adorn rounded walls. Gorgeous, hand-cast<br />

stone fireplaces complement rooms rich with mahogany, and French doors are crowned by arched<br />

Palladian windows. A pair of curvaceous stairways, lined with hand-forged, wrought-iron balusters,<br />

wind their way up to meet at a second floor landing where the master suite is located. The action<br />

is down at the lakeside where a colossal boat dock/party deck, large enough to hold a fleet of water<br />

toys and a full-sized yacht, rests on a just a small portion of the 1200 linear feet of waterfront. The<br />

lake offers great fishing; sailing and water skiing, and all the popular Lake Travis restaurants and<br />

attractions are just a quick, dock-to-dock boat ride away. Other highlights include a game room, a<br />

320 bottle-capacity wine/bar room, a handsome 3-story high mahogany library, an office, a home<br />

theater and two detached 2-car garages: one with an over-head apartment and the other with an<br />

238± Acres | Karnes County<br />

Property ID: 1650600<br />

THE ULTIMATE TEXAS RANCH with vast open spaces and<br />

lavish appointments, this 238-acre showplace ranch is one<br />

of the great architectural masterpieces – an imposing fourstory,<br />

34-room Antebellum-style mansion. Double electronic<br />

entry gates and an arched stone entry open to an illuminated<br />

one-mile, tree-lined drive leading to the main compound that<br />

is complimented by three fabulous fountains. Designed for<br />

outdoor entertaining, the grounds will accommodate seating<br />

for 2,500 with a lavish shell stone pool area containing professional cooking facilities. This world-famous ranch is only 45 minutes from an international airport, making<br />

this ranch perfect for a corporate retreat or family compound. Lush, emerald green rolling pastures, with a 10-acre trophy bass and catfish lake, manager’s home, and<br />

a show barn/auction facility with theatre seating for 325. The main home, in a private, gated, walled compound, is a four-level columned mansion with four sides of<br />

Welcome to Emerald Lake Estate! Please watch the Estate<br />

videos or visit the Estate’s website EmeraldLake-hmr.com for<br />

an in-depth look at this one-of-a-kind property. This spectacular<br />

185-acre private and gated Estate is located in Magnolia, <strong>Texas</strong>,<br />

approximately 40 miles northwest of Houston. Meticulously<br />

developed, this estate boasts the private 25-acre Emerald<br />

Lake, a world class bass lake with ten islands, a nine-acre<br />

Japanese garden and a seven-acre botanical garden with over<br />

5,000 azaleas. Additional improvements include the Estate<br />

house, guesthouse, boathouse, multiple gazebos, 21 bridges<br />

in all shapes and sizes and miles of walking trails! In addition,<br />

there is private helipad access located on the lake and a tropical<br />

sandy beach. The grounds are exquisitely manicured which<br />

gives them a resort-like feel and appearance all year round.<br />

Located within the upscale golfing and equestrian community<br />

of High Meadow Ranch this property offers something for<br />

everyone. Emerald Lake Estate boasts all the amenities one<br />

would expect from an elegant country lake Estate but there are<br />

numerous opportunities for a buyer to come in and make the<br />

Emerald Lake Estate their own.<br />

Over the past 15 years, David and Rondi Weber have taken this<br />

pristine wooded landscape and sculpted it into an incredibly<br />

unique property. Boating, fishing, golfing, camping, hiking,<br />

horseback riding, nature watching, gardening and much more…<br />

are all here… in your own backyard!<br />

With the planting of over 20,000 trees, shrubs and flowers<br />

through the years, the Estate has been transformed into a<br />

veritable paradise with a resort-like ambience. In fact, each<br />

spring the Weber’s open their gates for the annual Azalea<br />

Walk event to the local community and numerous garden clubs.<br />

Guests can walk the mile long trail and view this eclectic mix<br />

of exotic flora brought in from all over the United States. The<br />

colors in the spring are absolutely breathtaking!<br />

Privacy has always been an important objective in the<br />

development of Emerald Lake Estate and only about 90 acres<br />

have been fully developed, including the lake and various<br />

gardens, leaving most of the perimeter in its natural forested<br />

state. There is still an abundance of space in its natural state<br />

for developing new areas including an optimal build site for<br />

another Estate house should one be desired.<br />

“The canvas is still large enough to paint your own picture”,<br />

says owner David Weber, “And even though Rondi and I have<br />

decided it’s time to downsize, there’s still a lot of opportunity to<br />

take things to the next level. I’m excited for the new owners to<br />

have their own once-in-a-lifetime experience.”<br />

States, we invite you to experience<br />

market report<br />

Sometimes everything old is new again and so it is with<br />

prices in <strong>Texas</strong> land markets. Abundant sales of small acreage<br />

tracts propelled overall <strong>Texas</strong> land prices to an all-time high<br />

in 2013. Prices had recovered 2009 losses by 2012, but they<br />

made astonishing overall gains in 2013, rising to $2,640 from<br />

$2,295 in 2012. That substantial 15 percent surge effectively<br />

more than doubled the amount of increase between 2011 and<br />

2012. This overall gain indicates a robust market with prices<br />

ranging higher in all regions. Even areas that had continued<br />

to languish in the past several years presided over markets<br />

producing solid growth in prices and apparent increased<br />

levels of activity. Because small acreage sales at high prices<br />

per acre dominated <strong>2014</strong> markets th overall run up in prices<br />

of larger properties probably fell short of that 15 percent mark.<br />

The broad market surge, masked a trend toward caution<br />

in farmland markets as farmers viewed USDA forecasts<br />

for lower corn prices and declining net farm income with<br />

caution. Farmers’ voracious appetite for cropland appeared<br />

to cool as evidenced by price declines emerged in the largest<br />

market segment in the panhandle despite growth in overall<br />

price.<br />

Breaking the gloom that has gripped the Northeast <strong>Texas</strong><br />

region, that area stretching from Fort Worth to Texarkana,<br />

prices posted a strong positive trend for the first time<br />

since 2009, increasing more than 20 percent. Robust price<br />

advances in large property prices enhanced the growth in<br />

small acreage prices to their highest inflation adjusted prices<br />

since 2008. Despite this recovery, real or deflated prices still<br />

lag slightly lower than 2008 market levels. This region, tied to<br />

the fortunes of Dallas and Fort Worth reflected the damage<br />

sustained by the economies in that area in 2009. These 2013<br />

price developments suggest that much of that damage has<br />

been repaired.<br />

Markets in the Amarillo - Lubbock region reflected the most<br />

distress in 2013 as farmers curtailed their frenzied purchases<br />

of cropland. Drought, uncertainty about future commodity<br />

prices, and worries about declining water tables converged to<br />

slightly apply the brakes to overall price growth in this region.<br />

The overall price barely grew in 2013, but that pullback<br />

followed two years with growth exceeding 20 percent.<br />

Markets rarely sustain expansions of that magnitude for long.<br />

As <strong>2014</strong> dawns, signs point to continuing economic<br />

improvement at a snail’s pace compared to most post-World<br />

War II recoveries. High levels of debt throughout the world<br />

hang like ominous thunder clouds on the horizon. Investors<br />

continue to face markets fraught with risk that provide<br />

substandard returns. Still, six years of gloom suppressing<br />

pent up demand has given way to market movements<br />

supporting rising prices on a broad front. Only unforeseen<br />

events threaten continued recovery in <strong>2014</strong>.

Legendary Y.O. Ranch<br />

Kerr County<br />

29,000± Acres | Kerr County<br />

Property ID: 1277517<br />

Captain Charles A. Schreiner, merchant, banker,<br />

philanthropist, pioneer rancher, and <strong>Texas</strong> Ranger<br />

purchased the Y.O. Ranch in 1880, and it became<br />

headquarters for the Schreiner Cattle Company, and the<br />

Live Oak Ranch headquarters for its sheep operations.<br />

Throughout five generations, the ranch is notable for<br />

many firsts, including leasing land for hunting to provide<br />

income, establishing a registry for <strong>Texas</strong> Longhorns that<br />

brought the breed back from the brink of extinction, and<br />

for introducing exotic hoof stock that earned it a reputation<br />

world-wide as ‘America’s Original Game Ranch’. With an<br />

established infrastructure, it is a notable destination for<br />

native and exotic hunting, Longhorn cattle and animal<br />

auctions, ranch tours, social and corporate events, and<br />

superb recreation and relaxation. Native wildlife includes<br />

whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, quail and wild boar,<br />

plus exotics of Axis, Sika, Fallow, Scimitar Horned Oryx,<br />

Blesbok antelope, Black Wildebeest, Beisa Oryx, Eland,<br />

Red Sheep, Persian Ibex, Pere David Deer, Barasingha<br />

Deer, Blackbuck antelope, Aoudad sheep, and Corsican<br />

Ram among others. An innovative animal conservation<br />

program has assured strength of these herds and made<br />

the Y.O. Ranch a world leader in exotic game preservation.<br />

Dime Box Ranch<br />

Lee County<br />

202.84± Acres | Lee County | Property ID: 1620809<br />

The home was built on 1904 and was moved to the present site near Dime Box <strong>Texas</strong> in 2000<br />

from the Swiss Alp area. It was restored in 2002. It has a master bedroom downstairs and three<br />

bedrooms upstairs. A beautiful kitchen that looks like something out of the early 1900’s but has a<br />

working modern dish washer hidden behind a pulldown cabinet door, a restored 1937 Chambers gas<br />

stove that cooks as good as new, a 1937 Fridgidaire refrigerator, and a lot of original glass in the<br />

cabinets and interior windows. The house was moved in a set on a concrete slab. The house and barn<br />

are on Lee County water. There is a beautiful cypress wood barn that has plenty of room for storage<br />

or would make a great party barn, or shop. Upstairs is a three bedroom apartment or guest quarters<br />

that has not been finished out. Sheetrock is up and it is plumbed and ready for your choice of colors<br />

and appliances to finish out. It would make a great place for guests to stay. There are five tanks on<br />

the property and on a recent visit they were full of ducks. A couple of pit blinds would make this an<br />

ideal duck hunting property. The property is crossed fenced into four pastures. Fences are in good<br />

condition and the property has been running a small cattle operation. In addition, there is a chicken<br />

coop with concrete floor and a garden area to grow your own garden. It has the high fence posts in<br />

the ground and just needs to be finished with high fence wire to keep the deer out. There are no<br />

minerals owned by seller. Viewing appointments scheduled with KW Farm and Ranch, Rick Doak.<br />

1,000-2,002± Acres | LaSalle County | Property ID: 1433103<br />

Originally part of the 250,000-acre Callaghan Ranch, the Caiman Ranch was in the same family from 1947 up until 2008. About 140 miles south of San Antonio,<br />

55 miles northeast of Laredo and 20 miles east of Encinal, this property is long known as the “Promised Land” for bruiser, whitetail bucks. Caiman Ranch carries<br />

the reputation as one of the best whitetail deer ranches in <strong>Texas</strong>. Deer taken from the ranch have consistently won local contests, including Los Cazadores, the<br />

Muy Grande and the Cola Blanca. This sportsman’s paradise also features lots of turkey, wild hogs, quail and dove. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced into four<br />

pastures and features eight-foot net wire game-proof fening along the eastern boundary and barbed wire fencing along the remaining boundaries. All of the major<br />

South <strong>Texas</strong> brush species are represented in abundance, including guajillo, guayacan, granjeno, blackbrush, mesquite trees and Huisache trees, which provide food<br />

for wildlife, in addition to the excellent brush. Improvements include a 4,200-square-foot, Spanish-style hacienda with six bedrooms, five baths, concrete slab,<br />

stucco exterior, Saltillo tile floors, mostly nine-foot ceilings, deep porches and a large walled courtyard with a traditional outdoor fountain. Other buildings include a<br />

The Caiman Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to about<br />

322-feet in the Los Olmos Creekbed, the ranch features soils with clay or loam surface layers, which are the key to the excellent, diverse vegetation. A 4,280-footdeep<br />

well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies water to the headquarters, one of two stock tanks on the ranch and various water troughs. Wet-weather Olmos Creek<br />

flows through the western section of the ranch, and holds pockets of water for extended periods of time. This is the perfect opportunity for an outdoorsman who<br />

desires to own one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state. www.caimanranch.info<br />

Property ID: 1499233<br />

This outstanding offering, which is known as Los Campos<br />

de Chama, has been owned and enjoyed by the same<br />

family for over 50 years and this is the first and only<br />

time the property has been offered for sale. The Los<br />

Campos de Chama is ideally located along both sides of<br />

US Highway 64/84, just west and southwest of Chama,<br />

New Mexico. This picturesque property is located in the<br />

productive Chama Valley, offering spectacular views of the<br />

high mountain country in the distance. Elevations on the<br />

property are in the range of 7,800 feet. The Los Campos<br />

de Chama property has for many years been operated<br />

as a seasonal livestock grazing unit, complimented by<br />

extraordinary, extremely valuable water rights which are<br />

used to irrigate a major portion of the property. The ranch<br />

has the historic right to irrigate 454 acres of productive<br />

Los Campos de Chama<br />

Rio Arriba County, NM<br />

meadows and native pasture through an extensive network of engineered earthen ditches off of the main MB Ditch, which receives its substantial flow from the<br />

nearby Chama River. Each acre of irrigated land (454 acres) is allocated 1.5 acre feet (18 inches) of water per year. Water rights of this magnitude are extremely<br />

rare in New Mexico, and if ever sold, generally command a price of several thousand dollars per acre foot, and much more when marketed for municipal use<br />

purposes. The Los Campos de Chama property is extremely reasonably priced at only $4,900 per acre. Considering the substantial amount of valuable water rights,<br />

this property is a rare find. The mineral conveyance is negotiable.<br />

including one irrigation well that has been tested in excess of 800 gallons per minute, and two solar water wells supply the waterlines. Priced at $1,395 per acre, this live<br />

water ranch is a bargain. The seller is of the opinion that 25% of the minerals are owned and will convey with the property. Call us for a detailed brochure packet.<br />
