About the Ranch
The Experience
A trip to HR-3 Ranch is a unique opportunity to experience life on a working cattle ranch. You can get out in the pastures and take a Grass Identification Tour or learn Cattle Handling after swimming in the pasture pool or hunting for arrowheads.
The Alexanders are proud to be the third generation to ranch their family land. They are passionate about the job of raising beef that feeds their fellow Americans, and they are excited to share that experience with guests.
The Accommodations
The Foreman's Guest House lies on the edge of the working pens, looking out over open fields and beyond to the rolling hills. Built with rock from the ranch and hand forged details, it is both modern and comfortable.
The yard includes a kids' tree house with swings, a basketball goal, and a fire pit perfect for roasting s'mores. Cattle graze in the surrounding pastures most of the year, and whitetail deer have been known to wander into the yard looking for acorns.
The Conservation Ethic
Lee and Lindsay are committed to managing the ranch in a way that encourages native plants and animals to thrive. Cattle are one of their best management tools, allowing them to graze the land in a rotational manner mimicking that of the buffalo.
When settlers first arrived around 1854, the landscape was a rolling plain with oak trees. Now, cattle help to control weeds and invasive species of grass that were introduced when overgrazing practices damaged native grasses. While curly mesquite and rescue grass have come into areas that are now being managed, there is still a struggle to fight back the invasive brush and weeds. Cedar, mesquite, prickly pear, and shin oak all overpower the native grasses, and fire is one of the best resources to control these invasive plants. They control burn with the hope of controlling overgrowth, putting nutrients back into the soil, and promoting the native eco system.
The Land
The Ranch is located above the Hickory Sands formation and is made up of mostly shallow, gently sloping limestone soils on the northern half. That transitions into predominantly sandstone with large cliff edges and a dramatic landscape on the southern half.
