About Rancho Tres Hijos Rancho Tres Hijos began registered Beefmaster operations in 1995 deep in the heart of South Texas brush country alongside the Frio River. The ranch is a mixture of brush and buffle grass pasture of approximately 3300 acres, and is on State Highway 72 in McMullen County, 5 miles west of Tilden and 75 miles due south of San Antonio. There is abundant water all over the ranch for livestock watering, but the growth of the grass is directly related to the amount of rainfall received. As most South Texas ranches, cattle that are raised here need to have the hardiness that exists in Beefmasters to withstand the regular periods of small amounts or no rainfall. The native brush includes large areas of guajillo, guayacan, prickly pear, and yucca that is occasionally grazed by the Beefmasters especially during these periods of extreme drought.
