Cattle

The ranch runs a very productive cattle operation that has the capacity to support 150 - 250 head. The cattle working facilities are some of the nicest pens you will find in all of East Texas.

The property has great perimeter fencing, custom metal gates, and cross fencing all in place. The barn and storage facilities are likely as nice as you will find in Upshur County. Water is plentiful via stock tanks, well irrigation, creeks, and ponds.
