OUR PHILOSOPHY

Crabapple Falls Ranch is located over 1500 acres between Fredericksburg & Llano, in the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The ranch features the serene Crabapple Creek, rolling valleys of Live Oak, and awe inspiring views of the ancient monolith - Enchanted Rock. Whitetail deer, wild turkey and auodad are abundant and are seen daily around the ranch. The small but mighty Crabapple Creek winds a dramatic path through granite outcrops while providing over 2.5 miles of live water access. This dramatic landscape includes a one mile stretch of canyon with cliffsides towering nearly 200ft above cascading falls and pools that the wildlife enjoy.

​​

As exclusive partners with the Crabapple Falls Ranch, here at Enchanted Rock Livestock we have the privilege to care for this land by rotationally grazing the property. In doing so our herd helps rebuild soil organic matter to promote a biodiversity that supports the native wildlife. We do not use any pesticides or fertilizer on the ranch, instead following Aldo Leopold's "Axe, Cow, Plow, Fire & Gun" management tools. Care is given to ensure our livestock are handled gently and have only a positive effect on their surroundings. We do not clear cut and raise monocrop hay fields, preferring to work within and enhance the natural features of this region. This approach is purposeful and promotes a holistic relationship between steward, land, livestock & wildlife over goals like maximum production. 

​

Our beef is always 100% native grass fed and grass finished, and free of antibiotics and growth hormones. We believe our product to be unique and flavor forward, better for the consumer and our animals alike.

 

We look forward to being able to supply you and your loved-ones with nutritious and flavorful food, raised with care and a high quality of life.
