Texas Farm and Ranch Properties
I took this photo of a ranch I sold in Florence, Texas
I am a Native Texan who was raised in a ranching & farm owning family. I love to put on my boots and jeans and show & sell Texas land. Whether you are buying or selling, let me know if I may help you. Whether a few acre homestead or a few 1000 acre spread, I love Texas land. Let me help you buy or sell a Texas Ranch or Farm. Being an EcoBroker or GREEN REALTOR, I also have a big interest in organic farming & ranch management. I recently sold a ranch in Brownwood, Texas- an area known for great hunting. I had 2 contracts on it & had it sold in record time because of my knowledge of ranches combined with cutting edge internet marketing techniques. A local agent had had it for a year without any offers. So please let me sell yours. Let me share a bit about my background in farm and ranch. We had a 1000 +- acres near Seguin Texas in the Sand Hills known as The Raetzsch Ranch. Digging for worms & fishing with a cane pole or swimming in the many stock tanks were some of my childhood pastimes. We raised a small herd of white faced Herefords and a few Santa Gertrudis. There was also a lot of white tail deer hunting every year. Sometimes other animals were hunted such as wild hogs, coons & bull frogs. My love was riding horses. Here I am on Black Pete.
Black Pete, the horse above, was my favorite mount growing up. I don't know exactly what age I started riding but it was young. I seemed to have a way with horses & other animals. Many other family members said Black Pete would try to scrape them off on a tree branch but he never did that to me. One of my favorite times was rounding up the cattle. I remember rounding them up for treatment in the screwworm epidemic in the 1970's. Some poor cattle did not make it in for treatment. Since then, screwworms have been virtually eradicated by the introduction of sterile male flies. We also had a farm in Seguin on Cordova road. We grew mainly sorghum (maize or feed grain), wheat and sometimes corn. My late husband was a farmer & rancher who grew corn, wheat, feed grain & cotton on 1000's of acres. We had a large flock of free range chickens, Nubian milk goats, ponies for the kids & other animals out on the farm. I also raised and showed purebred horses for a while, traveling all over Texas finding the right mares and stud to breed to. Yes, those were the good 'ole days!
