EDITOR 

I’m a mountain girl and a southern belle. I live 

in Colorado now, but spent most of my life in 

Mississippi. Y’all is integral part of my vocabulary. 

I’ve never been a ranch girl, but I’ve got a strong 

itch to be. Something about the open spaces. The 

livestock. The wildlife. The independent heritage 

just strikes a chord. 

In my job, I’ve been fortunate to cross paths with 

ranchers and I’ve come to realize something along 

the way. Ranchland is home to more than cattle, 

sheep, goats, horses, wildlife and the families who 

care for them. Open space ranchland is home to 

the ecological processes that our very lives depend 

on. Land not only produces food and fiber, but 

clean water, clean air and habitat. Ranchland is 

home to the vistas that feed our collective soul. 

Ranch owners take great pride in being stewards 

and taking care of their land. I think it’s exciting 

that Lands of Texas Magazine plays a role in 

passing land from one set of caring hands to 

another. That thought…that promise for the 

future… makes the deadline pressure worthwhile. 

In this issue, I hope you find the piece of property 

that brings your inner land steward out.

INDIAN HOT 

SPRINGS RANCH 

Old Time Ranch on the Rio Grande 


In Texas, many secret places long thought forgotten to the 

pages of history lie open and waiting for the curious, the 

ambitious and, often times, the adventurous. These unique 

venues not only invite visitors with their breathtaking 

landscapes and wealth of amenities, but also with elements 

significantly less tangible. Beyond the modern luxuries, the 

native Indian folktales weave a greater magic, a sense that 

the spirit of the land—and the window to history itself— 

still survives. Stories passed down through generations 

of historic battles and magic healing waters stir the 

imagination, invoke a sense of adventure and welcome all 

who find their way to Indian Hot Springs Ranch. 

Sited between Ft. Davis and El Paso, just a short distance 

from the world-famous waters of the fabulous Rio Grande, 

Indian Hot Springs Ranch is a ranch without equal. Nestled 

in a small valley formed by the Rio Grande’s cut through 

the Quitman Mountains in Hudspeth County, the ranch 

is rich in history, easily accessible and almost completely 

surrounded by the majestic mountain range. This prime 

mountainside locale offers a combination of serene and 

restful beauty in an invigorating, smog-free valley of the 

Rio Grande, remote from the hustle and bustle of big-city 

pollution—a perfect place to call home. 

From behind the Indian Hot Springs Hotel, the mountains of 

Mexico rise from the horizon in a stunning natural backdrop 

mirrored in the natural native elements showcased through 

the handcrafted architecture. Originally constructed in the 

1920s and partially restored in recent years, the masonry 

hotel is within a stone’s throw of the Rio Grande and 

once connected to the small quaint Mexican village of 

Ojo Caliente on the Mexican side of the river via swinging 

bridge. Electricity is provided by Rio Grande Electric Coop 

and Dell Telephone currently serves the ranch with fiber 

optic cable buried and ready to be powered. In addition to 

the two homes, the ranch also affords two adjacent duplex 

apartments and a privates cantina (saloon) for guests to 

enjoy and relax amidst the beauty of the Rio Grande Valley. 

Featuring 6,400 breathtaking acres and an elevation of over 

3,000 feet, the Indian Hot Springs Ranch is more than just 

a place to see, but a place to experience. At the hotel spa, 

one will find picturesque landscapes, intriguing historical 

sites and naturally heated waters that flow throughout the 

property. When the first white explorers came to this part 

of the valley of the Rio Grande, they found stone troughs 

that were hand-dug by prehistoric people. These troughs, 

strategically located around the warm springs, provided 

both access and enjoyment of the therapeutic waters. 

Later, the Indians made use of the natural stone

“bathtubs” for bathing in the waters and 

considered them to be enchanted liquids 

capable of miraculous healing. For centuries, 

Indian warriors came to recover from their 

battles and rest up from their forays across 

both sides of the border. Centuries later, many 

visitors over the years have written testaments 

to the to the hot springs’ soothing, calming 

and even healing effects while they were 

guests at the ranch. 

Ranging between 117°F and 81°F, the eight 

springs that give Indian Hot Springs Ranch 

include: Soda Spring, a cold spring, lies on 

the northernmost end of the ranch; Beauty 

or Horse Trough Spring lies north of the hotel 

building near the entrance; Chief Spring, the 

largest spring, is pumped into the bathhouse; 

Squaw Spring was used by Indian women; 

Dynamite Spring was dynamited in the 1970s in 

an attempt to increase the flow; Stump Spring 

is used in the wading pools; Mexican Spring 

was used for many years by people crossing 

the nearby Rio Grande; and Masons or Fishing 

Hole Spring is the farthest east of the springs. 

In addition to the springs, two wells supply 

fresh water to the ranch along with Rio Grande 

water rights for two large duck ponds. 

Though no minerals are available, the ranch 

offers a wealth of native vegetation and 

wildlife. The diverse foliage includes plenty 

of salt cedar, mesquite and cacti, along with 

many varieties of grasses and shrubs that 

provide wonderful cover for the plentiful game 

that call Indian Spring Ranch home. Aoudad, 

javelina, whitetail deer, mule deer, bobwhite 

quail and dove roam the ranch, and a wide 

variety of migratory birds use the ponds as 

they traverse the West Texas flyway. This wellmaintained 

ranch has been slightly hunted 

and has an excellent feeding program in place. 

Even with the majestic beauty of the distant 

mountains, the plethora of native wildlife 

and the prime Rio Grande locale, the area 

of Indian Hot Springs Ranch has long been 

coveted not just for its physical amenities, but 

the spirit of its springs. From generals who led 

Buffalo Soldiers across the valley to modern 

doctors of El Paso interested in their healing 

properties, the mystery of the ranch’s waters 

has inspired many to invest in this area and 

discover the truth behind the legend. This 

unique opportunity allows you to discover the 

beauty— and perhaps the mystery—of Indian 

Hot Springs Ranch.

It is no secret that Trip duPerier, the Texas Landman, 

knows how to sell ranches. As part of the duPerier team, 

Trey Hallmark and Kevin Meier have worked with— 

and learned from—Trip for more than a decade. Their 

professional relationship, built on shared knowledge 

and experience, has translated into ranch sales that consistently close over 

$300 million annually. While the destination to become top ranch brokers was 

the same, their paths to get there were different.

“We build strong relationships with our clients, so 

when they decide they want another property they 

call us,” Trey said. “When those calls come, we jump 

in the truck and go spend a week looking at options. 

We travel, so we know first-hand what’s available 

and what will fit our clients’ needs.” 

The second part of the client care equation is market 

knowledge. 

“In order to really serve your clients, you have to know 

the market—what’s out there, what’s for sale, what it 

sold for, and what the values are,” he said. 

The third part of the superlative customer service is 

promptness. 

Trey grew up in a real estate family with both parents 

working in the industry. His mother, Susan Hallmark, ran 

Hallmark Bradfield, which at one point was San Antonio’s 

largest real estate company. 

“All I ever knew was real estate, which meant I always 

knew my career would be in real estate,” said Trey, 

who graduated from TCU. “It wasn’t until I finished 

my undergraduate degree along with the TCU Ranch 

Management program that I knew I wanted to sell 

ranches instead of houses.” 

Kevin said, “When clients are interested in land, 

promptness is essential. You can’t wait around for 

things to happen. You have to take care of the details, 

even if it means staying up round-the-clock, to get 

the deal done.” 

Kevin and Trey have mastered these crucial details giving 

them the opportunity to work with exceptional properties 

and interesting people. 

Most recently, Kevin was involved in selling the “Old 

Hendricks Boys’ Ranch” near Stamford, which was held in 

a trust managed by JP Morgan. The 43,000-acre property 

boasts 36 miles of the Clear Fork of the Brazos River 

running through it. 

Kevin, who graduated from Texas A&M in 1995 with a degree 

in wildlife biology came to ranch real estate through his 

career as a wildlife biologist. Wildlife management kept 

him on the land and in touch with people who wanted to 

buy it and sell it. He devoted a lot of time and expertise to 

obtaining wildlife management permits for landowners 

from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. 

“Showing a state biologist around a ranch for permitting 

purposes requires a different depth of knowledge than 

showing a ranch to a potential client,” Kevin, who owns 

five working farms and ranches, said. “The key to my 

success is the in-depth knowledge I have about land. I’m 

not a salesman by any means, but I really do know dirt— 

and clients appreciate that.” 

After years of being an informal advisor and with Trip’s 

urging, Kevin joined the duPerier team full time as a ranch 

realtor in 2011. 

While the team first staked its claim in Texas, the 

brokerage also works in New Mexico and the western 

mountain states. The overall goal is delivering exactly 

what the client wants. 


“There was a lot of history on that ranch, so it was fulfilling 

to be involved in writing its next chapter,” he said. 

While the land always has a story, the people do as well. 

Trey said, “Of course I find the land interesting, but 

it’s really about the people for me.” In his career he’s 

represented high-profile clients including singers, actors, 

professional athletes, owners of major vineyards, and 

stables that house Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes 

winners. 

Ranch real estate involves both natural resources and 

people, so there is a level of unpredictability that makes 

the job unlike any other. 

On one occasion, Trey was showing a ranch in far west 

Texas when a mountain lion began to trail the group. The 

lion seemingly had a meal on its mind and followed a bit 

too closely for everyone’s comfort. Fortunately, Trey was 

prepared with a sidearm and dispatched the mountain 

lion before tragedy could occur. 

“I sold the ranch, then had the mountain lion mounted as 

a gift to the ranch’s new owner,” Trey said. 

One of Kevin’s most memorable experiences occurred in 

east Texas as he was showing a 5,500-acre timber tract 

in San Jacinto County. Despite assurances from the land 

manager that the property was not being actively hunted, 

Kevin kept seeing signs of hunting activity, including 

blinds, filled deer feeders, and human tracks throughout. 

Taking the manager at his word, Kevin brought potential 

clients to the land, relaying the information the land was 

not being hunted. When the group started to tour one 

of the property’s cabins, they came face to face with 

hunters. 

“Apparently, the manager had been claiming ownership 

of the property and leasing it out to hunters unbeknownst 

to the actual landowner,” Kevin said. “It was definitely 

one of the most awkward and uncomfortable moments 

in my career.” 

As industry veterans, Trey and Kevin have witnessed 

changes through the years. According to Trey, the biggest 

changes are due to technological advancement. 

“For years, we worked with spiral notebooks and number 

two pencils,” Trey said. “Nothing is the same now. 

Technology has changed the way we do everything from 

mapping properties to marketing them. Wireless internet, 

portability of our personal computers, social media and 

numerous other developments have revolutionized the 

industry.” 

Kevin, on the other hand, noted changes in the reasons 

clients are purchasing property. 

“I’ve watched real estate for 20 

years,” he said. “In the nineties, urban 

Texans, particularly Houstonites, were 

buying ranches for recreation, shifting 

land use from agriculture to recreation. 

In the past three years though, people 

have been interested in properties with 

cultivatable fields, irrigation, or productive 

cattle country.” 

He continued, “I think part of the change 

comes from global unrest. People want to be 

able to be more self-sufficient.” 

Both men are bullish on the industry and its 

prospects as 2015 unfolds. According to Kevin, 

the market is strong. 

“Last year, while our third quarter was successful, 

the fourth quarter exceeded that success,” he said. 

“This year already is following the fourth quarter 

trend.” 

Trey noted the benefit of being in Texas. 

“I think Texas and what we’ve done in the past 10 years 

as far as job creation and the economy compared to 

other states is pretty much what has kept the country 

going,” Trey said. “We have strong personal property 

rights and people moving in for tax purposes. I might 

be nervous if I were any place else, but I feel good about 

being in Texas.” 

Owning land anywhere in Texas makes good financial 

sense. 

Kevin said, “It’s a tangible asset, but it can’t be reproduced. 

I personally invest in land. There’s no one in New York City 

who is going to turn around tomorrow and tell me that 

it’s only worth a dollar an acre. Unlike the stock market, 

there is a real market where I can take land any day of the 

week and get a fair market price.” 

Trey added, “Land, especially in Texas, is always likely to 

be an appreciable asset. Buy the right piece of land at the 

right price and it will appreciate over time. Plus, there are 

tax benefits and a potential of enterprises from livestock 

to wildlife.” 

Owning land in Texas also makes sense on an emotional 

level. It gives people a place to put down roots. 

“The biggest benefit of land ownership is the lifestyle that 

comes with it—the ability to go outdoors and be on the 

land, working it and eventually becoming part of it,” Trey 

said. “It grounds people in everything that is important.”

What is the thing in life you are most proud of? 

My wife and my kids. 

If you had to pick another career, what would you do? 

I got where I am today by working hard my whole life. If somebody 

said I couldn’t sell ranches anymore, I think I would go back to 

farming, ranching and being a wildlife biologist. Frankly, if there 

were something else I wanted to do, I’d be doing it. 

What is your favorite thing about Texas? 

The wide open spaces. I drive all over the state from ranch to ranch. 

When I get on these small highways or farm-to-market roads, I can 

focus on my job, the ranch, or just the beauty around me. I don’t 

have to contend with city chaos or traffic hassles. That’s what I love.

What is the thing in life you are most proud of? 

I would say my family. I was probably the last person anyone 

thought would settle down and have a family. I waited a long 

time to do it. I work very hard to play very hard and I’m not home 

very often. I have a great wife who understands who I am and how 

I operate. She deserves a lot of credit. 

If you had to pick another career, what would you do? 

I’d be a professional golfer. I was probably good enough to make 

it, but I had a really big problem with hunting and fishing. I never 

focused on golf enough to see to what level I could take my game. 

There are a lot of fellows who I used to beat in college who are

ROUNDUP 

Put It on 

Paper 

When Leasing Pasture, Protect Yourself With a Written Agreement 

t’s not uncommon for ranchers to do business on a 

handshake, especially when the business seems fairly 

straightforward, such as leasing pasture to or from a 

neighbor. 

But verbal agreements don’t always work out, notes agricultural 

law expert Tiffany Dowell Lashmet. When you’re 

negotiating a pasture lease, the details of the agreement 

need to be in writing, and the document should be reviewed 

by an attorney and signed by both the lessor and lessee. 

“When a problem arises, the lack of a written lease agreement 

can cause major problems for both parties involved,” 

says Dowell Lashmet, assistant professor and Extension 

specialist in agricultural law with the Texas A&M AgriLife 

Extension Service. 

“My advice to all producers is to take the time and invest 

the money to ensure that all leases are in writing and are 

reviewed by an attorney. Obtaining a written lease incurs 

legal fees, but the cost spent to have an attorney review a 

lease will likely be much less than the costs spent to resolve 

a dispute down the road,” she says. 

West Texas lawyer and ranch owner Kaye Edwards agrees. 

In the past six years, she has leased pastureland in Concho 

County to two different cattlemen who were both excellent 

tenants. Still, as an attorney who has practiced real estate 

law, Edwards didn’t risk not having a lease agreement. She 

developed a simple three-page document that clearly defines 

the rights and obligations of both the lessor and the lessee. 

“It’s simple because I want my lessees to be able to under- 


stand it, and to know that I’m not misleading them,” says Edwards, 

who practices law in San Angelo. 

From a lender’s perspective, a simple written lease is superior to a 

verbal agreement, according to Edwards’ loan officer, Brian Meeks, 

San Angelo branch manager with Central Texas Farm Credit. 

“A written lease can document and verify a loan applicant’s annual 

income or annual expense, along with the term of the lease and other 

conditions between the lessor and lessee. This can be important 

information in making loan decisions and qualifying loan applicants,” 

Meeks says. “A written lease can also be used to avoid conflicts in the 

future when conditions or ownerships change.” 

A written lease may include a range of legal considerations, from 

dispute resolution clauses and attorney fee provisions to confidentiality 

clauses. Following are some of the key terms to consider when 

drafting a grazing or bull lease. 

TERM OF THE LEASE 

Specify the beginning and termination dates and under what conditions, 

if any, the lease may be extended after a certain period. 

Edwards’ lease can be terminated after one year by either party with 

90 days’ written notice. Her lessee has the option to renew the lease 

for one year under renegotiated terms. Also, the lease can be terminated 

by either party if water is not available. 

PAYMENT OF RENT 

Detail how the rent will be calculated. Rent for most grazing leases 

is calculated on a per-acre, per-head or per-animal unit basis. Most 

bull leases require the rent to be paid monthly. A lease should also 

specify payment details, including due date, form of payment and 

late payment penalties. 

DESCRIPTION OF LEASE SUBJECT 

Describe the subject of the lease and any limitations. For example, if 

a party leases 100 acres of land but does not intend to use a particular 

10-acre field on the property, this limitation should be spelled out in 

the lease. 

Spell out limitations on activities that the lessee may engage in, 

such as hunting, and by which roads or methods the property may 

be accessed. If limitations are not listed in a written lease, they do 

not exist. Edwards, for example, specified that her lessee cannot 

remove mesquite wood from the property. 

STOCKING RATES AND DISASTER CONTINGENCIES 

Specify the allowed stocking rates and include contingencies in case 

a drought or fire occurs during the lease. It should determine who 

will make the decision to reduce the stocking rate and spell out the 

period of notice required before the lessee has to remove livestock if 

this situation arises. 

Similarly, it is important to determine the species and breed of 

animal that will be allowed on leased grazing land. Charolais cows, 

for example, might require more grass than a herd of smaller-framed 

Angus cows, Dowell Lashmet points out. 

Edwards’ lease permits cattle, sheep or goats to be pastured on her 

land. She was concerned about overgrazing, and therefore stipulated 

that overgrazing would be determined by the standard recommendations 

of the local USDA office. 

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 

Consider terms addressing both parties’ liability and indemnification 

obligations to each other should a problem arise. 

For example, if a leased bull injures someone, will the bull owner or 

the lessee be liable? If the lessee digs a posthole and someone steps in 

it, will the landowner or the lessee be liable? 

MAINTENANCE OF FIXED ASSETS 

Determine which party is responsible for maintaining fixed assets, 

such as houses, barns, fences and wells. Usually, says Edwards, “somebody 

already in agriculture has the mind-set to take care of the land, 

more so than a hunter would.” Still, it should be stated in the lease 

agreement. 

Another consideration involves permanent structures that remain 

with the property after a lease terminates. If a lessee intends to build 

a barn, for instance, he may want to ask the landowner to pay for 

materials, and the landowner may want to have input on how the 

barn is designed. 

TRANSFERABILITY 

Address issues related to transferability. Is subleasing permitted? 

Is consent from the landowner required before a sublease may be 

entered? What are the lessee’s rights if the property is sold during the 

lease term? These questions are important to both parties. 

CARE OF LIVESTOCK 

If part of a lease requires one of the parties to care for another’s livestock, 

spell out the expectations in detail in the written lease. 

One producer’s idea of feeding sufficient hay may be very different 

from another’s. Unfortunately, this issue can arise when cattle are 

not adequately cared for, according to Dowell Lashmet. She notes 

that some leases offer an incentive to a caregiver for providing a high 

standard of care. For example, if the breeding rate on heifers is over 

a certain percentage or if calves exceed a certain weight gain per day, 

the caregiver will receive an additional amount in rent payment.

ROUNDUP 

Should I Get 

into the Cattle 

Business? 

BY 

ROBERT 

FEARS 

Many people, who buy rural land, use it for wildlife management 

or for simply, relaxation. Until now most of these landowners had no 

intention of raising cattle, but they may be changing their minds. Cattle 

are selling for unusually high prices and cattle ranchers are making 

money. These conditions promote incentives for people to enter the 

cattle business. It is recommended, however, that landowners don’t buy 

cattle without first studying the business. It would be wise to thoroughly 

explore the question, “Should I get into the cattle business?” 

The ideas presented in this article were adapted from a presentation 

given several times by Drs. Rick Machen and Ron Gill during annual Texas 

A&M Beef Cattle Short Courses. Machen and Gill are livestock specialists 

with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The title of their presentation 

is Retiring to Ranching. 

COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL 

If land was bought as a place to spend leisure time, conflicts of 

interests may develop by entering the cattle business. There is always 

something to be done on a beef cattle ranch – stock to tend, water 

to check, and fence to mend or build. Property owners need to enter 

ranching with eyes wide open and have a plan to balance ranch 

responsibilities with dreams of leisure. Ranching can be strenuous and 

require a substantial amount of hours; so we should make sure we have 

the physical health, energy and time to manage a cattle business. 

It is critically important that we share the same or parallel goals with 

our spouse, not only for the ranch, but also for life off the property as 

well. Fishing and shopping may not conflict. A ten-day cruise and heifer 

calving season are conflicting opportunities. 

The long term goals of cattle production require continual effort 

and a passion. We need to understand the aspirations and intentions 

of the children and grandchildren. Are we beginning a family ranching 

heritage by buying cattle? Do subsequent generations share the same 

vision and desires? 

CLEARLY ESTABLISH AND OUTLINE GOALS 

Ranch goals should be specific, measurable, attainable and related. 

Goals are a vison of where we want to go. Some ranching and natural 

resource management goals may take more than one generation to 

achieve, so it’s important for families to share ranch management plans 

and ensure that everyone is on the same page. 

In writing goals, the following questions should be addressed: 

1. How much land and cattle do I need? 

2. How much can I realistically care for? 

3. Is stewardship of natural resources important? (Natural resources 

are not immune to the effects of man and beast – maintenance and 

improvement of these resources require effort.) 

4. What type of cattle business do I want – cow/calf or stockers? 

5. Do I have a preferred breed of cattle in mind? 

6. Am I willing to consider livestock best suited to my ranch 

environment? 

7. Am I minimizing property tax burden by raising cattle? 

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS 

Ranchers across Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma reported through 

the Standardized Performance Analysis database that average annual 

cost to maintain a cow is well above $500. In 2013, the average cost for 

quality young replacement females was above $1,000 per head. Bulls 

from reputable breeders was $2,500 and up. Getting into or staying in 

the beef cattle business requires significant capital. 

Clearly define “profitable” and “tolerable”. Hopefully, there is nonranch 

income to cover living expenses. Profitable is income exceeding 

expense. Tolerable may be generating enough revenue to cover all 

or most of the production costs. Due to land value appreciation and 

reduced debt on cattle loans (if cattle purchase was financed), net 

worth accumulates with time. 

Regardless of the approach taken, it is critically important to 

establish a budget and adhere to that budget. Any variation from 

original projections creates the need for communication with family. 

Variations may seem small and not worthy of reevaluation of goals and 

objectives, but small shifts in management plans can lead to long-term 

changes in cash flow and draw on non-ranch funds. 

Money is a personal matter; however, an annual review with a 

financial professional to monitor status of available capital, operating 

funds and other ranch debt is time and effort well spent. Examples 

of financial professionals are accountants, financial advisors and loan 

officers. 

Lending cooperatives affiliated with the Farm Credit System are an 

excellent source of financing for rural Texans and agriculture ventures. In 

addition to available credit, most have a staff of lending professionals 

that are personally involved in and thereby understand agriculture. 


REQUIRED EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES 

People in ranching often fall victim to hardware disease. This 

condition typically manifests itself in recognizable colors – yellow, green, 

blue, red and white. To the unsuspecting eye it looks like a bulldozer, 

backhoe, tractor with loader, skid steer, UTV, welder, stock trailer and 

4 wheeler all tucked neatly inside a new barn located conveniently 

adjacent to a set of corrals made from steel pipe. 

If non-ranch income is available for acquisition and support of these 

items, all is well. We should be reminded of the words of wisdom from 

Mr. Frank Litterst, cattleman and longtime animal science teacher at 

Texas A&M, “Never buy what you can rent or lease. Never rent or lease 

what you can borrow.” 

Borrowing must be a two-way street. If we borrow equipment, we 

must offer to lend equipment as payment. A short list of items required 

for beef cattle ranching is presented in Table 1. 

HELPFUL RESOURCES 

Before deciding whether to go into the cattle business, gather as 

much information as possible. A trustworthy, knowledgeable source of 

information is a valuable asset. 

The best source for help is a successful neighbor, but successful is a 

subjective term. If neighbors have managed their ranch for two decades 

or more, through at least one drought, and the appearance of their ranch 

and livestock are appealing, they qualify as a good information source. 

Local county agricultural extension agents are professional educators 

and provide a window to a vast array of information and resources. If 

they don’t know the answer, they can find someone who does. 

US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation 

Service (USDA-NRCS) is federally funded and works with landowners 

in conservation planning and assistance. With service centers in most 

Texas counties, natural resource management information is not far 

away. 

Find a local veterinarian with interest and expertise in large animals 

and involve them in development of a preventative herd health plan. 

There is no substitute for their knowledge. 

As more transition to ranching from other careers and agriculture 

becomes more technical, professional consultants are becoming more 

available and are an excellent choice for one-on-one personal attention. 

Be prepared to compensate them for their knowledge and skills. 

The annual Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course provides a great 

opportunity to obtain a huge amount of information on cattle 

production within a 2½ day period. Discussions are led by experts in every 

facet of the business. 

Do not rely on information from the internet or what someone tells 

you as the truth until you substantiate the credibility and expertise of 

the source. 

CATTLE MANAGEMENT 

Another important question to answer is: “What type of cattle 

business do I want to enter?” Stockers are calves bought after they 

are weaned, fattened primarily on grass and then sold to feedyards. 

Stockers are a good option if an operator wants to buy and sell cattle 

on a 60- to 90-day rotation. Before buying stocker cattle, visit with local 

cattle marketing professionals regarding market conditions, source and 

availability of cattle, and marketing options. 

When most people think of ranching, they envision a cow-calf 

operation with cows having calves once a year, growing those calves 

for six to eight months and then weaning calves as they go to market. 

An immediate question to consider is replacement females. Will they 

be raised or purchased? For 1/1/1 operations (one herd, one bull, one 

pasture), purchasing replacement females makes sense. Purchasing 

removes the difficulty of managing heifers and inbreeding concerns 

due to breeding females back to their sire. Ranchers who can pasture 

and manage heifers separately may not be comfortable monitoring and 

managing the animals during calving. They might choose to purchase 

replacement females which have already calved at least once. 

The greatest challenge for beef producers, whether cow-calf or 

stockers is sustaining quantity and quality of forage required to meet 

maintenance and growth requirements of their cattle. The ongoing 

drought in some areas serves as a vivid reminder of this challenge. 

Although consumers now take safety and wholesomeness of their 

food for granted, they are concerned about where and how food is 

produced. Animal welfare is a big issue. Whooping and hollering when 

working cattle can no longer be tolerated and must be replaced with 

low-stress handling techniques. 

One final comment is offered to those who want to go into the 

cattle business. There is no room for unruly cattle with a poor disposition, 

regardless of their name, genealogy, genetic merit or perceived value. 

You have worked too long and hard to have your dream interrupted by 

an avoidable injury or disability. 

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR 

BEEF CATTLE RANCHING 

PERIMETER FENCE 

1. Good fences make for good neighbors. 

2. Bare minimum is five strands of barbed wire. 

3. Place bottom wire not more than 10 inches above the ground and 

top wire at least four feet from the ground. 

4. Net or woven wire offers the opportunity to better manage feral 

hogs and predators. 

INTERNAL OR PARTITION FENCING 

1. Use existing fences when possible. 

2. If replacement fencing is warranted, seek the assistance of NRCS 

or others with grazing management and livestock handling 

experience. 

BARN/STORAGE 

1. Many old barns add an aesthetic element to the ranch and 

continue to serve the purpose of protecting equipment and 

supplies. 

2. Metal buildings are a low cost replacement option. 

3. Retired cargo containers are also a popular choice. 

HANDLING FACILITY 

1. Use existing facilities as much as possible. 

2. If repairs or replacement is warranted, consider portable panels/ 

pens before digging holes, cementing posts and welding pipe. 

3. For security reasons, do not locate pens near a public road. 

RESTRAINING CHUTE 

1. A squeeze chute is almost a must. 

2. Manual chutes are equally functional but appreciably less 

expensive than hydraulic. 

SCALES 

1. Knowing the correct weight versus guessing is critically important 

for dosage of most health products, nutrient requirements, and 

knowing what your cattle weigh when they leave the ranch for 

market. 

2. Smaller operations may not be able to justify owning a scale, but it 

is important to know what your cattle weigh. 

LIVESTOCK TRAILER 

1. Frequency of use determines justification for ownership. 

2. Most cattle auction companies pick up cattle for a nominal hauling 

charge or know local people who haul LANDSOFTEXASMAGAZINE.COM 

cattle on a load basis. 29

ROUNDUP 

BRUSH MANAGEMENT 

MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE 

“Measure twice, cut once” is good advice for carpenters -- 

and for landowners who are considering brush management. 

Unlike mown grass that can spring back within days, brushbased 

habitat can take years to recover from overzealous or 

poorly planned brush removal. 

Before you cut, define your objective: Why are you 

manipulating the brush? Is it to improve habitat for a specific 

species like white-tailed deer or quail? Or is it to maximize forage 

production for cattle? Or, perhaps, it’s a matter of aesthetics? 

Or a mix of all of these things? 

There is not a right or wrong answer to these questions 

because each landowner’s goal is unique, but the answers to 

these questions is the first step in determining what your brush 

management activities will entail. 

BEFORE YOU CUT, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE PLANTS 

AND ANIMALS ON YOUR PROPERTY 

Different wildlife species rely on different plant species for 

food and cover. If you don’t know what a white-tailed deer likes 

to eat or what type of cover a quail prefers for nesting, then it 

is possible that you could remove the very things that will make 

the most impact. 

Generally, white-tailed deer require more brush, ideally 

about 50 percent, while quail prefer a more open landscape 

with 20 percent to 30 percent brush cover. If you’re hoping to 

manage for both, the sweet spot will be somewhere in between 

the extremes. 

Also, know your plants and how they respond to manipulation. 

For instance, red buds respond positively to a prescribed burn, 

coming back with new growth and improved vigor, while 

pecan trees and hackberry trees are easily damaged by fire. 

Understanding these nuances will help you choose which brush 

management tools are best suited to your situation. 

As you consider the brush on your ranch, remember that 

every species can make positive contributions, even mesquite 

and juniper. Mesquite beans are high-protein food sources for 

white-tailed deer, livestock and other mammals. Birds rely on 

juniper berries. When winters are hard or drought rolls in, whitetailed 

deer will eat juniper too. Both species prevent erosion, 

add organic matter, and provide cover. Generally, brush density 

is a bigger concern than brush species. 

BEFORE YOU CUT, UNDERSTAND THE PROS AND CONS OF 

EACH BRUSH MANAGEMENT METHOD 

Landowners have four brush management methods at their 

disposal: mechanical, chemical, biological and prescribed fire. 

These methods can be used singly or in combination. Each has 

its pros and cons. 

Mechanical brush control methods include root plowing, 

roller chopping, excavating and shearing. On the plus side, 

mechanical brush control allows you to be very selective. On 

the negative side, it is very expensive. William Conrad, who 

manages 42,000 acres of conservation land on behalf of Austin 

Water Utility, estimates that the utility spends $300/acre to 

$350/acre for mechanical brush control. 

Chemical brush control methods include aerial application 

and individual plant treatments (IPT). While chemical 

treatments are not as expensive as mechanical treatments, 

they still carry a significant price tag. Chemicals can be used to 

treat large areas quickly and efficiently, but, in the case of aerial 

treatments, they are less selective, meaning that desirable 

plants can be damaged along with the target species. 

Biological control methods include insects that are pests to 

a host species such as salt cedar beetles, and livestock, namely 

goats. Biological means mimic natural processes and can be 

less expensive, but they can be slow. They also require constant 

monitoring and can be highly variable. Goats are non-specific 

browsers and can damage desirable species if landowners do 

not monitor vigilantly. 

Prescribed burning also mimics a natural process, but its 

usefulness is not always well understood by local government or 

the public. It requires significant planning, preparation, training, 

labor and a very specific set of conditions to be implemented 

correctly. It is possible that a landowner can prepare for a 

burn for a year or more and then not have the conditions to 

implement it. For example, at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research 

Station in Sonora, which is a leader in prescribed burn research, 

the staff has not been able to conduct a single burn in the past 

five years because of the ongoing drought. 

BEFORE YOU CUT, TAKE SOME FIELD TRIPS 

Visit other ranches and see how they’ve managed brush. 

Field trips make your brush management options easier to 

visualize. 

Through the years, range managers have experimented with 

several different patterns for brush removal. The most common 

are: blocks, strips, checkerboard and mosaic also known as 

brush sculpting. 

Different patterns offer slightly different benefits. In recent 

years, the mosaic pattern has become very popular, especially 

on smaller ranches. It follows the land’s contours, instead of 

the rules of geometry, making it more aesthetically pleasing to 

some. 

BEFORE YOU CUT, ASK QUESTIONS 

Good sources of information about brush management 

are your local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services 

(NRCS) range and wildlife specialists; Texas AgriLife Extension 


BY GREG SIMONS AND RUBEN CANTU 

WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS 

WILDLIFE CONSULTANTS, INC. 

range and wildlife specialists; and wildlife biologists from 

the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department or private sector 

consultants. 

Cost-share programs are available through NRCS, which 

helps landowners stretch their money and maximize the impact 

of their management efforts. 

These resource professionals also have access to the maps, 

software and other tools that are helpful during the planning 

process. 

BEFORE YOU CUT, PLAN FOR THE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM 

Consider the variables and the economics. How much land 

are you managing? What percentage of brush do you want to 

maintain? Can you afford to tackle the entire ranch at once? If 

not, where will you begin? What is phase II, III and IV? Are some 

parts of the ranch better suited for chemical control and others 

for mechanical control? Do you want to leave travel corridors 

or riparian areas intact? If you are implementing a prescribed 

burn, how long will those pastures need to be rested before 

and after the burn? What steps will you take to maintain the 

progress you’ve made? 

Brush management is not a one-time proposition. Natural 

systems are dynamic, so your brush management plan has to 

include follow-up treatments. Before you spend money creating 

open space, it’s important to know what you’re going to do to 

keep it open. 

Since the late 1880s, Texas has transitioned from a state 

dominated by grasslands to a state dominated by savannahs. 

Brush is part of the vegetative mix. Land managers have 

learned that attempts to eradicate brush are futile, while wellplanned 

efforts to manage the brush yield good wildlife habitat 

and success.

strategies can play in improving your land, contact Wildlife

ROUNDUP 

For many landowners, eminent domain isn’t an abstract 

legal construct, but a force that alters their land and their lives. 

In the Hill Country, residents are coping with the paths of power 

lines sited to support subdivisions popping up like bluebonnets. 

Throughout South Texas, thanks to the development of the 

Eagle Ford Shale, landowners face the prospect of oil and gas 

pipelines, roads and other industrial infrastructure. In Northeast 

Texas, landowners are bracing for the potential construction of 

Lake Marvin Nichols that could flood 70,000 acres and result in 

an additional taking of up to 10 times that amount to mitigate 

for the reservoir’s construction. 

“Texas is growing and changing,” said Greg Simons, 

president of the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA). “More people 

mean more demands for all types of infrastructure – roads, 

transmission lines, pipelines, reservoirs, schools and on and on 

. It all has to go somewhere. In Texas more than 90 percent of 

the land is privately owned, so in most cases private landowners 

have to bear the burden.” 

Eminent domain is nothing new. Some claim that the 

earliest known use of eminent domain can be found in the Bible. 

Massachusetts, during its days as a colony, executed the first 

provision for compensation for the laying of highways in 1639. 

What has changed over time is the scope and frequency of 

eminent domain activities. Through the years, government has 

granted more entities the authority to use it, including gas or 

 

 

David K. Langford, vice president emeritus of TWA, said, 

“When eminent domain got its start, it was governed by elected 

officials, those who were held responsible by the voters. That’s 

not the case anymore. In my opinion, the power of eminent 

domain should only come with public accountability.” 

Projects are bigger. For example, the Competitive Renewable 

Energy Zone (CREZ) transmission lines designed to carry wind 

energy from the Panhandle and West Texas to the Metroplex 

and I-35 Corridor has stretched across almost 3,600 miles to 

date, impacting thousands of landowners along the way. 

Land holdings are smaller, meaning more landowners are 

potentially in the pathway of any given project. In the Barnett 

Shale, some suburban residents had to contend with energy 

pipelines literally in their backyards. 

“Eminent domain is an equal opportunity challenge,” Simons 

said. “No landowner, no matter how large or how small, is 

exempt. Making sure that it’s implemented fairly and judiciously 

is something that concerns all landowners.” 

THE STATE OF EMINENT DOMAIN LAW IN TEXAS 

Because of a confluence of factors, the profile of eminent 

domain has been raised. Over the course of the past 10 to 15 

years, agriculture and landowner groups have collectively 

advocated for eminent domain reform in Texas. 

“Working together, a strong coalition of like-minded 

agriculture, wildlife, and private property rights groups, have 

championed significant eminent domain reform,” Simons said. 

Milestones include the passage of Proposition 11 in 2009. The 

constitutional amendment, which passed with an 81 percent 

majority, prohibited the taking of private property for economic 

development or as means to raise tax revenue. It also limited 

the Legislature’s power to grant the power of eminent domain 

in the future unless it is approved by a two-thirds vote of all 

members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. 

Then, in 2011, SB 18, the culmination of five years of effort, 

was signed into law. 

The bill contained three major components: a comprehensive 

ban on the “public benefit” use of eminent domain, overriding 

the decision in the landmark case of Kelso v. New London, in 

which eminent domain powers were controversially expanded; 

a requirement that owners of land that is subject to a proposed 

easement must be provided with a comprehensive assessment 

of their property’s value and that these assessments cannot be 

subject to confidentiality agreements; and the requirement that 

any government entity which is considering invoking eminent 

domain powers must make a bona fide offer to the property 

owner to sell the property voluntarily. This offer must include a 

30-day decision period and must be of equal to or greater than 

the value in the assessment. 

“There’s no doubt that we’ve made great progress on behalf 


BY LORIE WOODWARD CANTU 

of landowners,” Simons said. “But there’s also no doubt that 

work remains to be done.” 

At the time of publication, TWA was working in conjunction 

with legislators and like-minded groups to draft legislation 

with the goal of addressing some of landowners’ most pressing 

concerns. 

TARGET AREAS FOR REFORM 

While eminent domain can be invoked for a wide variety of 

projects, the rapidly growing need for transmission lines and oil 

and gas pipelines is the focus of many landowners’ concerns. 

One Panhandle attorney whose practice focuses on eminent 

domain reported handling over 200 cases, primarily power line 

and pipeline cases, in the past four years. 

“Most reasonable people will not object to the responsible 

and judicious use of eminent domain in pursuit of the public 

good,” said Langford. “The objections arise when an entity 

condemns property and the landowner has a legitimate 

question of whether the general public or a private entity is 

going to benefit from the taking.” 

In the case of both transmission lines and oil and gas 

pipelines, the line dividing public benefit and private benefit is 

thin and gray. 

OIL AND GAS PIPELINES 

As of August, according to the Texas Railroad Commission, 

Texas is home to 425,939 miles of oil and gas pipelines. The 

Legislature has granted oil and gas companies a great deal of 

power including eminent domain, which comes as part of the 

common carrier designation. A common carrier is a pipeline that 

will allow products from more than one company to be carried. 

Currently, the oil and gas companies indicate common carrier 

status themselves by marking the form that they submit to 

the Railroad Commission notifying the agency of the pipeline’s 

construction. 

“Common carrier status, which is self-determined by energy 

companies, confers the power of eminent domain,” Simons 

said. “There is no government oversight of pipeline routing, so 

the companies have the power to site the lines where they want 

and take the land they need.” 

The Railroad Commission provides the following information 

on its website: 

“The Railroad Commission (RRC) is limited in its authority 

to those powers delegated by the Legislature by statutory 

enactments. Regarding pipelines, the Railroad Commission has 

authority over intrastate pipelines (those that originate and end 

within the State of Texas) for pipeline safety and pipeline rate 

regulation. 

In Texas, pipelines are not required to be permitted before 

being built. There is no statutory or regulatory requirement 

that a pipeline operator seeks or receives from the Railroad 

Commission either a determination that there is a need for the 

pipeline capacity or prior approval to construct a pipeline and 

related facilities. 

Additionally, the Railroad Commission does not determine or 

confer common carrier status for pipelines. The pipeline operator 

reports to the Railroad Commission the status of a pipeline as a 

gas utility, common carrier or private line. Commission does not 

have any authority over a common carrier pipeline’s exercise of 

its statutory right of eminent domain (emphasis added). 

Generally, the Railroad Commission has no authority over 

the routing or siting of intrastate or interstate pipelines. The 

pipeline route is determined by the pipeline’s owner/operator. 

The exception to this is when the pipeline contains ‘sour gas’ 

(hydrogen sulfide) because of its potential toxicity at certain 

levels….” 

The Railroad Commission is currently considering new 

regulations to strengthen the agency’s review of common carrier 

status. The energy companies are opposed, claiming additional 

review will unnecessarily slow their progress. 

“The current law puts landowners at a distinct disadvantage, 

even if they are negotiating with the most upstanding corporate 

citizen,” Langford said. “By ‘checking the box’, unelected 

individuals have the ability to condemn and take someone else’s 

land.” 

TRANSMISSION LINES 

When the CREZ lines began their march across Texas, the 

PUC, at the Legislature’s direction, allowed private utility 

companies to bid on the construction projects and carry them 

out on behalf of the state of Texas. By granting the transmission 

service providers a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity, 

the Public Utility Commission gave the companies the power 

of eminent domain. The companies were also given the right to

An October article in the Texas Tribune on the CREZ lines’ 

completion said: “Electric ratepayers will bear the burden, 

but few have yet seen their bills creep up. The commission 

has approved CREZ fees from just three transmission service

“The companies are guaranteed the right to make a profit 

and the companies’ rate payers may number in the hundreds of 

thousands, minimizing the individual cost,” Langford said. “And 

yet, the utilities maintain that it is too costly to pay landowners, 

whose property is damaged and devalued by the construction 

of a transmission line, true market value. As a result, landowners 

often bear an inordinate amount of the burden for society’s 

infrastructure.” 

While the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and 

Article I, Section 17 of the Texas Constitution guarantee that a 

property owner will receive just compensation for the taking, 

just compensation is not defined. 

“Eminent domain transactions should reflect regular real estate 

transactions where a willing buyer interacts with a willing seller, 

allowing market forces to come to bear,” Langford said. “Currently, 

there is no incentive for condemning entities to give a fair market 

value nor is there a disincentive for bringing low-ball offers.” 

In many cases, the sticking point is over “damages to the 

remainder.” The question is how much has the land been 

devalued by the power line’s construction? Historically, the 

utilities acknowledge very limited damage ascribing it only to a 

narrow corridor on either side of the new construction. 

From a landowner’s perspective the damage, which ultimately 

affects the land’s market value, is much more extensive. The 

construction of a power line and its attendant easement creates 

a corridor for other easements. Several contiguous easements 

through a property can change the land’s character, making 

it more suitable for industrial or corridor use. Plus, the service 

providers can hang additional lines, such as fiber optic cables, 

from the towers, increasing the company’s revenues, without 

benefiting the landowners. 

“Putting emotional value aside, real property like land is a 

storehouse of wealth, a natural resource-based bank account,” 

Simons said. “Condemnors are making money off a path that 

cuts across a landowner’s bank account, diminishing its value. 

The law says landowners should be made whole.” 

Damages generally are calculated using a paired analysis in 

which an appraiser compares sales of two properties similar to 

the one in question. One has a power line. One doesn’t. They 

both have sold. The difference between the two is perceived to 

be the damages. The problem with this is approach is that it is 

very subjective and often fails to account for all of the variables. 

“The only thing that precludes reasonable people from 

getting fair market value is whether you have reasonable people 

on the other side of the negotiation,” Langford said. 

If the government and property owner cannot agree on that 

compensation then, ultimately, they head to the court house 

for a special commissioners’ hearing. If landowners choose to 

seek financial betterment, they may be forced to give up other 

gains such as surface reclamation or access limitations that 

they negotiated previously. 

“Landowners find themselves having to choose between 

financial betterment and the considerations that they 

negotiated to protect their land,” Simons said. “To add insult 

to injury, landowners have to finance their own legal fees, even 

if they are successful in court. The utilities, on the other hand, 

can count them as a business cost and charge them back to 

the rate payers.” 

He continued, “Why should a landowner pay for defending 

himself if the action was brought against his property in the 

name of public good? Shouldn’t the public bear the cost for the 

benefit and the damage resulting from delivering the benefit? If 

the condemnors had to pay court costs perhaps it would create 

an incentive for fair market-based offers on the front end.” 

In addition, landowners whose land is taken for transmission 

line construction can be held responsible for injury or death 

sustained by any people constructing or working on the power 

line because neither the government nor the transmission 

company indeminifies the landowner. 

“Landowners aren’t building the power lines,” Langford said. 

“Why should they be liable for them?”

TWA MEMBER PROFILE 

Tina 

Buford 

A PASSION FOR 

LAND AND FAMILY 

by Lorie Woodward Cantu 

Tina Buford doesn’t let her long list of accomplishments 

overshadow what is most important to her. She is first and 

foremost, a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister and a member of 

a South Texas ranching family that has been taking care of the 

H. Yturria Family Ranches for six generations. 

“It’s about land and family, family and land,” she said. “My 

passion for everything that I’ve done can be traced back to 

those two things.” 

FAMILY AND FIRSTS 

For instance, she was the first student to go to Texas 

A&M University and the TCU Ranch Management program 

simultaneously. She did it because she wanted to attend the 

renowned program alongside her sister, Quita Wittenbach, 

who had graduated from TCU and was preparing to enter the 

ranch management program. The program director had to be 

convinced. 

“I explained to him that my sister and I wanted to attend 

the Ranch Management School together because one day we 

would be running our family’s ranch together,” Buford said. “We 

thought it best to learn the same things at the same time, so 

we’d have the same information and experiences to draw from 

when it was our time to care for the land.” 

Eventually, he was swayed. Buford took a year off from her 

Rangeland Ecology and Management studies at Texas A&M to 

attend TCU. She completed her education in 1998. 

Buford was also the first female president of the Texas 

Wildlife Association. She got involved in association work after 

she realized the way of life she cherished was misunderstood 

in the world beyond the ranch’s fence lines. The misperception 

that land management is a “man’s world” didn’t faze her. 

“Leadership isn’t gender specific, it is team specific,” Buford 

said. “I faced the perceived challenge by recognizing that I 

didn’t have to have all of the answers myself. As president, my 

job was to create a team of passionate people with knowledge, 

vision and integrity – and ask them the right questions.” 

Her dad and uncle, Richard and Danny Butler, have long 

been recognized as leaders in agriculture, wildlife and landowner 

organizations. Other than serving as inspiration, this family 

history of leadership didn’t give her a head start at TWA. Her 

first volunteer job at the association? Selling TWA t-shirts. 

Today, she serves as: a member of TWA’s Executive Committee 

and of the Conservation Legacy Committee; president of the 

Texas Wildlife Association Foundation; vice president of Taking 

Care of Texas, a conservation initiative co-founded by Laura W. 

Bush; a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers 

Association’s Natural Resources and Wildlife committees; a 

member of the Texas Agricultural Land Trust Advisory Board; 

and as a director for the Sand County Foundation, a national 

foundation dedicated to the principles of conservation espoused 

by Aldo Leopold, the father of wildlife management. 


In the swirl of advocacy, fundraising, networking, 

educating and leading that characterizes her life, Buford’s 

roots keep her grounded. 

“I grew up watching my family sacrifice to keep the land 

together,” Buford said. “Their actions were an unspoken 

language that the land was important enough to make 

those choices and those sacrifices, even though the 

sacrifices took their toll. When you see it and you live it, it 

becomes part of who you are.” 

Buford makes it quite clear she is one member in a family 

of ranchers who work together. She is part of an ongoing 

legacy where each generation learns from those who came 

before in order to be good caretakers in their time. She and 

her sister are part of a team led by their dad and uncle that 

manage the land. Each daughter has two sons. 

“We have a common love, a common goal,” Buford 

said. “And we’re working hard to pass it along to the next 

generation.” 

Buford and her husband, Trey, who she started dating in 

the seventh grade, have two sons, Francisco “Cisco” Buford, 

11 and William Buford IV, 8. 

“Trey’s support allows me to do the things I do,” Buford 

said. “And I do the things I do, so our sons can continue to 

enjoy the privilege of working the land, just like all those 

family members who came before them.” 

SOUTH TEXAS ROOTS 

Deep South Texas is known as the Last Great Habitat 

because sprawling, historic ranches and long-time ranch 

families have kept huge tracts of rangeland intact. It’s a 

unique place where cattle and wildlife roam together and 

where the mixture of culture, history and traditions create a 

backdrop for life unlike any other. 

“Some people say that South Texas begins south of San 

Antonio,” Buford said. “For me, true South Texas begins south 

of Corpus Christi.” 

Her great-great-great grandfather Francisco Yturria, a 

successful merchant, banker, and entrepreneur, registered 

his brand, the “Y” in Cameron County in February 1858. 

Yturria was a contemporary and colleague of Richard King, 

Mifflin Kenedy and the others who carved out their legacies 

in the rough and tumble corridor where Mexico transitioned 

into Texas. 

The headquarters ranch that Yturria built and his 

descendants run today is named Punta del Monte, which 

means “point of brush.” It sits where the brush met the 

famed “sea of grass,” just north of present day Raymondville 

in Willacy County. The site was originally part of the 584,496- 

acre Juan de Carricitos Land Grant that was created by the 

King of Spain in 1790. 

“We live with history every day,” Buford said. The family 

still owns and manages one of the original porciones, which 

are long, narrow strips of land extending 12 miles north that 

provide river frontage. They were created to ensure early 

settlers had access to water. 

Of course, it’s the family history that has shaped 

Buford’s view of the land and its role in their lives. Her great 

grandmother, Dona Panchita lived on the ranch until her 

death at 101. Her grandfather, who is 97, lives on the ranch 

THROUGH THE GENERATIONS 

The land and its legacy has passed through six 

generations: from Francisco Yturria (1830-1912) to Daniel 

Yturria (1859-1920) to Hermino Yturria (1892-1960) to 

Lydia Yturria Butler (1919-2008)to her sons, Danny and 

Richard Butler. Buford, who is married to William “Trey” 

Buford III, and Wittenbach, who is married to Donald 

Troy Wittenbach, are Richard’s daughters. The next 

generation, Francisco “Cisco” Buford, 11, William Buford 

IV, 8, McLean Yturria Wittenbach, 10, and Richard Gage 

Wittenbach, 2, are in training.

and still goes out daily with his bird dogs in tow to check on 

the quail that bring him joy. Buford credits her grandmother, 

Lydia Yturria Butler, with being her initial teacher about the 

importance of the land and family. 

“People who didn’t know her wouldn’t suspect she knew 

anything about the land,” Buford said. “She did. She loved 

it. We never had a conversation about the importance of 

keeping the land. We didn’t have to. The land was where I 

went to be with her. It is still where I go to feel her presence.” 

For more than 150 years, the family has run a commercial 

cattle operation. When her great grandfather grew too old 

to work the cattle himself, he had bleachers constructed 

alongside the pens, so he wouldn’t miss a thing. Currently, 

the family crosses the deep-red Santa Getrudis, a breed that 

was developed in the Brush Country, with Charolais, a breed 

that originated in the mountains of France, to produce an 

F-1 “golden calf,” uniquely suited to the land and the market. 

Early on, the family began to incorporate wildlife into 

their operations. The H. Yturrias were some of the first to 

offer commercial hunting as a way to diversify income 

streams and keep the land in production. In fact, they have 

some lease hunters whose families have been hunting on 

the property for three generations. 

Under the leadership of her uncle Danny Butler and 

her father Richard Butler, the wildlife operation has been 

expanded and now includes a variety of exotics such as 

scimitar oryx, lechwe, addax and gemsbok. The exotics 

run as free-ranging herds throughout the ranch, giving 

hunters the opportunity to stalk multiple herds during their 

adventures. 

The exotics were added to the landscape to create a 

year-round hunting opportunity to maximize the use of the 

ranch’s infrastructure. Two-day guided deer hunts also have 

been incorporated to accomplish the same thing. 

“My dad and my uncle have always kept their eyes on 

the future and made adjustments accordingly,” Tina said. 

“They’ve made it clear to my sister and me that surviving in 

this business means adapting.” 

As a result of the on-going drought, cattle numbers 

have been cut in half to protect the range. A reduced cattle 

inventory has a direct effect on the bottom line, causing the 

family to reassess its business operation. 

Instead of viewing the necessary belt tightening as a 

negative, Buford decided, after 15 years, to take a sabbatical 

from day-to-day ranch operations and pursue another 

opportunity. Within the last year, she accepted a position 

as the Education Project Manager for the East Wildlife 

Foundation (EWF). 

“There are so many things that I’m passionate about and 

want to see move forward that I’m taking a break from the 

ranch to focus my attention elsewhere for a little while,” 

Buford said. “If the time comes to return to the ranch, I’ll be 

ready to contribute. After all, I’m not losing my experience 

and skills, but expanding them.” 

The EWF is a private operating foundation established by 

the family of Tom T. East Sr. to support wildlife conservation 

and other public benefits of ranching and private land 

stewardship through research, education and outreach. It

is a working cattle ranch, encompassing more than 215,000 

acres in the heart of deep South Texas, that serves as a natural 

resource laboratory and conservation education classroom. 

“I identify with the EWF because its mission is my mission: 

conservation, land stewardship, ranching and the public 

benefits of private land,” Buford said. “We have to help people 

make the connection between what goes on behind our fences 

and what goes on in their lives.” 

meeting like-minded people, and seeing great programs on the 

ground. The countless hours in the trenches have taught her the 

value of partnerships, trust and the human connection. 

“The natural resource connection needs to be a human-tohuman 

connection,” Buford said. “When you work with kids and 

truly engage them, the light bulb goes off for them, too. They 

understand that they have a stake in the natural world – and 

they want to help take care of it.” 

THE PASSION 

Like on any journey, Buford made her way to conservation 

education one step at time. She began by hosting hunts on 

the family ranch through the Texas Youth Hunting Program. 

She took the next step in association involvement because 

she felt the hunting heritage could be in jeopardy. She began 

traveling to the state capitol to advocate on behalf of her fellow 

landowners for not only hunting, but wildlife, private property 

rights and natural resources. Underneath the pink granite 

dome, she had a “light bulb” moment that changed the course 

of her life. 

“Standing with the legislators and their aides, I realized 

that they didn’t know what I was talking about because it 

was so far-removed from their personal experiences,” Buford 

said. “It dawned on me that there were more people like them 

than like me, and, if we landowners didn’t work to instill an 

understanding about our natural resources that their existence 

eventually would be endangered.” 

She continued, “People care for things they’re connected 

to. Without a connection, it’s somebody else’s problem. 

Unfortunately, that ‘somebody else’ in today’s world is a small 

proportion of the population.” 

This realization feeds her passion for conservation education. 

Through the years, she has volunteered with many groups, 

As the point person for education on the EWF team, Buford 

will play an important role in conservation education in South 

Texas. She’s busy creating alliances and developing relationships 

throughout the region and beyond. As she learned a long time 

ago, one person can’t do it alone. In this case, the team’s work 

has implications for the state and the nation. 

South Texas is 95 percent Hispanic. Nationally, Hispanics 

are less engaged in the outdoors than other ethnic groups. 

Traditionally, in South Texas, Hispanic families had ties to the 

land. Unfortunately, these ties seem to have frayed in recent 

years. As a rapidly growing segment of the country’s population, 

the Hispanic community’s involvement is important for the 

future of natural resources. 

“At the East Foundation, we’re working with our neighbors,” 

Buford said. “We share a heritage. We share a landscape. 

Hopefully, together, we’re going to identify the common ground 

that makes natural resources relevant to everyone. Then, we 

can take what we’ve learned locally and impact the world 

beyond the Brush Country.” 

She continued, “It’s a challenge, no doubt. But I don’t have 

to face the challenge alone. It’s just a matter of getting the 

right people with the right information and asking the right 

questions so we can create the right plan. When that happens, 

anything is possible. The possibilities keep me going.”

• To reaffirm and maintain that groundwater is a vested property right of the landowner 

• To convince courts of law that property rights must be honored 

• To strengthen border security, and protect Texas landowners’ property and way of life 

• To maintain and improve landowner liability protections 

• To secure more transparent and predictable process for private landowners involved in navigable 

water proceedings and regulatory actions 

• To promote and defend the integrity of wildlife, including the importance of keeping wildlife wild 

• To promote and defend reasonable use of modern wildlife tools, including fencing, feeding, and 

other progressive practices

ASSOCIATION REPORTS 

THE 84TH TEXAS LEGISLATURE 

BY DAVID YEATES 

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 

The 84th Texas Legislature has been gaveled in and TWA 

has focused on several key issues. 

EMINENT DOMAIN 

TWA is working with legislators in the House and 

Senate, as well as other private property rights advocacy 

associations, to enact meaningful eminent domain 

reform. As the Texas economy and population grows, 

condemnation through eminent domain increases 

affecting more and more landowners. TWA believes that 

existing statutes are tilted unfairly toward the condemning 

entities. In pursuit of a more equitable process, we hope 

to remove the incentives that encourage condemning 

entities to make below market value offers. One goal is 

to require condemning entities to pay for the landowner’s 

legal expenses if the court determines the initial offer was 

below the market value. 

CAPTIVE DEER 

BREEDING 

TWA is also working 

with legislators to 

adjust regulations 

governing captive deer 

breeding in Texas. We 

hope to increase the 

time from when a 

captive breeder deer is 

released to when it may 

be hunted. The current 

statute calls for 10 day 

The Texas Wildlife Association’s (TWA) mission is “serving Texas wildlife 

and its habitat, while protecting property rights, hunting heritage, and the 

conservation efforts of those who value and steward wildlife resources.” 

We pursue that mission through three primary avenues: providing natural 

resource education programs for youth and adults, reaching over 450,000 

people annually; promoting hunting and habitat stewardship through the 

Texas Big Game Awards and the Texas Youth Hunting Program, engaging 

combined 4,500 people a year; and maintaining a staff and volunteer 

presence at the Texas Capitol to advocate and lobby for what is in the best 

interest of our mission and our members.

waiting period. In other words, a deer that has spent 

several years in captivity—and most likely has been 

administered pharmaceuticals—may be released into a 

pasture of undetermined size and be shot in 11 days. TWA 

believes that is too short. Our concerns center on possible 

pharmaceutical residues in the meat tissue and the public 

perception of canned hunts. 

TWA also hopes to change identification requirements 

for captive breeder deer upon release. Current statute 

requires only an ear tattoo, which can fade, become 

illegible and is difficult for hunters to see. TWA believes a 

hunter has a right to know if they are hunting a breeder 

deer for health and ethical reasons. 

TWA also supports Texas Parks & Wildlife Department 

(TPWD) efforts to trace back diseases spread by breeder 

deer. This is another reason TWA hopes to change the 

identification requirements for released breeder deer 

from an ear tattoo to a visible “button tag” attached to 

the ear. 

GROUNDWATER AND STATE PARK FUNDING 

TWA will also monitor and weigh-in on other 

conservation-related issues including groundwater and 

state park funding. 

One of TWA’s guiding tenants is “groundwater is 

groundwater.” Groundwater is vested property of the 

landowner as affirmed by the Texas Supreme Court. We 

are opposed to any attempts to segregate groundwater 

types for disparate regulatory treatment. For example, 

brackish groundwater is attractive to private desalination 

plant operators because of its low salinity levels; 

therefore, it has been targeted for relaxed regulatory 

treatment. TWA supports exploring solutions to meet 

Texas’ increasing water needs, but we will not stand for 

infringement on private property rights to enable water 

marketers’ profits. 

TWA is very proud 

to partner with TPWD 

on the Texas Big 

Game Awards and 

Texas Youth Hunting 

Program. We believe 

TPWD staff does a 

great job of protecting 

and promoting the 

great outdoors to our 

citizenry. In a state 

that is over 97 percent 

privately owned, the 

state park system provides crucial access to the natural 

world for an increasingly urban and disconnected 

population. 

Because of that TWA supports legislative efforts to fully 

dedicate sporting good sales tax revenue to fund the state 

park system. The funds are constitutionally allocated 

for that purpose, but have been subject to legislative 

appropriations to date, meaning that money has been 

redirected from its intended purpose during the budget 

process. TWA supports bills that have been filed to remove 

the appropriation authority, allowing full funding access to 

the state park system. 

TWA is proud to stand for conserving natural resources 

and protecting private property rights. We believe that is 

the right thing to do and will make every effort to advance 

our mission at the Texas Capitol. If you wish to learn more 

or support our efforts, please do not hesitate to contact us.

wells in the Ogallala Formation capable of servicing most of the ranch. 

In addition to these wells, several stock tanks, lakes, and many other 

shallow wells service the various pastures. Included in the improvements 

of the property are the main headquarters with multiple homes as well 

as a hunter’s lodge, several barns, and manager’s homes. Well-outfitted 

to comfortably handle a large-scale cattle operation, Bitter Creek must 

be seen to understand how unique and extraordinary it truly is. 

For more information on Bitter Creek Ranch, contact Harlan Ray and

In my youth, I listened to a haunting tune that suggested 

a collision with reality. “Those Were the Days,” by Mary Hopkin 

released on the Beatles Apple label. “Those were the days, 

my friend. We thought they’d never end. We’d sing and dance 

forever and a day. We’d live the life we choose. We’d fight 

and never lose! Those were the days….” Then Mary struck a 

sobering obstruction and things changed. As 2014 progressed, 

land market participants had to feel like Mary. The year began 

with expansion in prices and indeed finished with a substantial 

percentage increase, rising 9 percent to an all time high of 

$2,354 per acre by the end of the trading year a 33 percent 

expansion from 2009. 

Expansion continued on all fronts early in the year. Then 

something happened. Collapsing oil prices injected a sobering 

unwelcome obstruction to the continuing party. The fourth 

quarter presided over rising uncertainty with farmland investors 

anticipating years of weakened commodity prices and oil-based 

recreational buyers deciding to put purchase plans on hold. 

MARKET REPORT 

UNCERTAINTY, THY NAME IS OIL! 

That jolt did little to derail 

another banner year for land BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND 

prices, but thoughts now have 

turned to the existential question: 

will oil prices recover or continue 

to erode. How far will they fall? 

How fast will they recover? Who 

is to blame? And what does this mean for the Texas economy 

and Texas land prices. 

Studies suggest that overall land prices eventually follow 

trends in oil prices in Texas, but not for a year or two. So where 

does that leave land market participants? Some anticipate 

a quick resolution to weakened oil prices, not so much for 

agricultural commodities. Some foresee a prolonged decline 

in the face of expanding worldwide supplies of oil. No serious 

observer seems to have a defensible solution. So, as the year 

begins, we have seen a banner year in 2014, but no one can 

foresee where we will be in the next six months.

SHOWCASE PROPERTY 

“There’ll come a day 

when a barrel of water 

is worth more than 

a barrel of oil.” 

Charlie Flagg in Elmer Kelton’ classic 

novel, The Time It Never Rained

Pinto Creek Ranch 

2,447± Acres in Kinney County 

It’s no secret water is becoming a rare, precious commodity in 

Texas. On Pinto Creek Ranch, located six miles west of Bracketville 

on Highway 90, though, it’s abundant. A combination of live creeks 

and artesian wells set the 2,447-acre property apart as a prime 

recreational ranch and a superlative investment. 

JAMES L. AHERN JR., Broker

Water 

Pinto Creek ranch is home to two, year-round, live water streams. About one 

mile of Pinto Creek and two miles of West Pinto Creek meander through the 

ranch, eventually converging. At the convergence, they’re dammed, creating an 

oasis for canoeing, kayaking, and fly fishing for the native species found in the 

creeks. 

The water course, lined with large pecans and elms, creates an environment 

similar to that found on the banks of the Guadalupe River without the crowds. 

Because both banks of the creeks are within the ranch’s interior, the experience 

is completely private and protected from trespass. 

Pinto Creek Ranch also has two artesian wells, one of which produces 200 

gallons–250 gallons per minute year-round. It flows to the surface without a 

pump, filling the three-acre reservoir near the main house. The water gravityflows 

from the reservoir providing irrigation to the property’s farming operation. 

A second artesian well produces about 60 gallon per minute. Its ever-present 

water helps drought-proof the ranch. The water flows into a system of six-inch 

PVC pipe that connects the artesian well to all of the ranch’s stock tanks, ensuring 

they will never run dry. All of the tanks have been stocked with black bass, sun 

perch, and catfish for hours of angling fun. 

In addition, Pinto Creek Ranch owns 130-acre feet of grandfathered irrigation 

(pumping) rights out of Pinto Creek, which will transfer with the ranch’s sale. An 

acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons. The new owner of Pinto Creek Ranch 

will have access to more than 42.4 million gallons of water from Pinto Creek each 

year through these rights. Irrigation (pumping) rights in Texas are an asset. 

Pinto Creek Ranch, which sits above the Trinity-Edwards Aquifer, is governed by 

the Kinney County Water District. Other water districts in the region typically 

grant two acre-feet of water for every surface acre owned. If the Kinney County 

Water District follows this precedent, the owner of Pinto Creek Ranch, based on 

its 2,447-acre size, could have access to 4,894 acre-feet or more than 1.6 billion 

gallons of groundwater per year. 

As a reference point, Edwards Aquifer water rights, currently, are worth $6,800 

per transferrable acre-foot. If the Kinney County Water District follows the 

precedent of other groundwater districts in the region, Pinto Creek Ranch’s 

groundwater rights could be a significant economic asset.

Farming 

Pinto Creek Ranch is home to a 100-acre coastal hay field and 

a 100-acre commercial pecan grove. With brush clearing, the 

farming operation could be expanded to up to 800 acres. 

The farming operation is irrigated using artesian well water. 

Because the water flows to the surface without a pump, there 

is no electricity cost. As any irrigated farmer can confirm, 

electricity is the highest input. The ability to irrigate for free is a 

huge competitive advantage and bottom line booster. 

For those who don’t want to manage an agriculture operation, 

the access to irrigation makes it possible to lease out the 

agricultural operation, creating another income stream without 

the responsibilities of management. 

Wildlife 

For the past six years, the high-fenced ranch has been managed 

intensively for white-tailed deer. The program has been built on 

superior, imported genetics. During this past season, a hunter 

harvested a buck that scored 221 B&C. In addition to whitetails, 

the ranch is home to blackbuck antelope and axis deer, both 

exotics, meaning hunting opportunities exist year-round. 

All feeders and blinds transfer with the sale. The ranch also has 

a 20’x40’ walk-in cooler and a commercial-quality meat room. 

With its superior wildlife, top-notch equipment, and ample 

lodging, the ranch could easily become a commercial hunting 

operation, creating another income stream. 

The Rest 

While Pinto Creek Ranch offers a unique investment potential, 

it doesn’t skimp on amenities that make family and friends 

want to gather around a fire pit and make memories. The main 

house, with its soaring ceilings and open floor plan, encourages 

people to mix and mingle. A three-bedroom bunkhouse 

provides plenty of room for guests or hunting clients. 

There is also a foreman’s house allowing someone to always be 

on-site. The barns, which are insulated and built on concrete 

slabs, were originally used by the San Antonio Livestock Show 

and Exposition to house livestock behind the Joe and Harry 

Freeman Coliseum.

bucks. Caiman Ranch carries the reputation as one of the best whitetail 

deer ranches in Texas. Deer taken from the ranch have consistently

Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling 

topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to 

about 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-foot-deep well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies

various water troughs. Wet-weather Olmos Creek flows through the

everyone. There are three tributaries to the San Gabriel River that cross the property. The 

main tributary, Robinson Branch, features springs that generate inside the ranch and keep 

the creek flowing during the driest of times (the springs flowed throughout the recent 

exceptional droughts). This creek feeds a small lake stocked with bass, catfish and hybrid 

bluegill before picking up more and more volume as it makes its way further into the 

property. The permanent water of Robinson Branch creates a fertile creek bottom with a 

variety of hardwoods including pecan, oak and elm. Much of the ranch has been cleared 

of cedar, affording views of the terrain that varies from gently rolling to hilly. From front to 

back the ranch changes more than 120 feet in elevation. Thickets of brush and cedar have 

been left in selected areas of the ranch to provide refuge for the abundant wildlife. A 60- 

acre field presents a variety of possibilities for cultivation or food plots. Situated on paved 

County Road 252, this ranch is conveniently located just six miles east of Burnet and within 

about 45 minutes of downtown Austin. The diversity of this ranch and the close proximity 

to Austin is a rare combination. Price: $2,816,000 

Sycamore Falls Ranch 


This is one of the most dramatic ranches in all the Hill Country. Multiple hilltops 

afford stunning views in all directions. There is one main edge that runs through 

the middle of the ranch with deep canyons on either side. The canyons then rise 

up to additional ridges inside the boundary of the ranch affording even more 

views. In the canyon bottoms, springs generate forming beautiful Hill Country 

creeks with hidden treasure such as waterfalls and grottos. The elevation 

changes approximately 300 feet from the highest hill to the canyon bottom. This 

ranch is located about ten minutes east of Marble Falls and within an hour of 

Austin at the end of a private paved road. Despite this convenient location, the 

ranch is very secluded and in an area of other large ranches. Price: $1,442,000

perfect vantage point for watching the animals graze, the sun set and moon rise. The back yard 

includes an irrigated orchard, vegetable and herb gardens, and a buffalo grass lawn shaded 

by producing pecans. Historically the rich alluvial soil and abundant well water have supported

state-of-the-art island kitchen, insulated windows and doors, and an additional wing with a fireplace. Inside the exquisite home there are four bedrooms 

and three baths. Its enjoyable amenities include: five fireplaces, 130-year-old reclaimed oak flooring, 25-foot vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, custom elk 

chandelier, a stone hearth fireplace in the great room, glass cabinet fronts in the new kitchen fabricated from glass salvaged from the old home’s windows, 

custom cabinetry and three zoned heating and cooling systems, to name only a few. The four-car garage and 1,000-square-foot workshop has a full bath 

and an attached three stall barn, convenient to the house and constructed to match the decor of the home. This rolling 88-acre ranch’s improvements are 

located near the center of the property. Spacious first and second story front porches overlook the approximately two-acre lake. A comfortable wraparound 

porch on the newly constructed wing allows one to enjoy the gentle breezes which characterize the hilly location as well as phenomenal views of tree-lined 

Rocky Branch which meanders along the back perimeter of the property and provides a natural home for an abundance of wildlife. The home is approximately 

70 miles from Houston and perfect for full or part time country living. This property will make its owner beam with pride! Price: $1,699,500
