County Road 262, Hebbronville, TX 78376 - Duval County

The property has excellent water distribution, numerous ponds, and significant brush management to create optimal quail habitat. The property also has a nice 3 bedroom house, numerous barns, and excellent fencing for the rotation of cattle.

LOCATION

The ranch is located 10 miles northeast of Hebbronville, Texas. It has frontage on FM 359 (3,800), County Road 263 (2,700), and County Road 262 (8,200).

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

Soils on this ranch are dominated by fine sandy loams of the northwestern sand areas of South Texas (primarily Delmita and Delmita Bruni complexes). These soils are slightly tighter than some of the sugar sands found further south but have the ability to retain moisture better during drier periods common in South Texas.

The ranch is a mixture of more open native grasslands along with brush species commonly found in this region of Texas including catclaw, black brush, mesquite, and guayacan.

The land generally has gently rolling topography with over 50 of relief between the high and low points of the ranch. There are a few minor drainages that run through the property, and there are multiple ponds, and watering holes.

WILDLIFE

Northern Bobwhite Quail:

The primary quarry for hunters on the ranch is bobwhite quail. Much of the ranch is committed to maximizing quail habitat and production through rotational grazing, prescribed burning, and mulching quail strips. The ranch is parceled into 5 separate pastures to allow for managing the cattle herd to promote consistently high-quality quail populations. Water is distributed efficiently throughout the ranch with nowhere on the property further than a 1/4 mile from a water source. These practices coupled with naturally productive soils, grasses, and brush provide some of the highest quail production you will find.

The Farias ranch has developed a system balancing open grasslands and brush conducive to these types of soils that has created what is likely the most consistent wild quail ranch in South Texas.

White-tailed Deer:

The Farias Ranch is low-fenced and while little deer hunting has been done on the ranch, it has an abundant population of deer on the ranch with excellent habitat for them.

Rio-Grande Turkey:

Turkeys are abundant on the ranch, with enough large mesquites and hackberries to provide plenty of roost areas.

White-wing & Mourning Dove:

Dove hunting on the ranch is strongly supported by multiple ponds that are edge manicured to provide outstanding dove hunting opportunities. Both white-winged and mourning doves are abundant on the Farias.
