The majesty of the 69th Pin Oak Charity Horse Show descends upon the heart of Texas, March 19-30, 2014 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center.

As the first United States Equestrian Federation-designated Heritage Competition and as a NARG Top 25 Horse Show in North America, Pin Oak is a showcase of equestrian excellence steeped in warm hospitality to benefit the healing of sick children through our charities.

So much more than a horse show!

Captain Charles A. Schreiner, merchant, banker, philanthropist and pioneer rancher, joined the Texas Rangers in 1854 and served with distinction until 1857, when he entered the cattle business in Kerr County. The Y.O. Ranch, purchased in 1880, became headquarters for the Schreiner Cattle Company, and the Live Oak Ranch, now forming portions of the Y.O., was headquarters for its sheep operations. Throughout five generations, the ranch is notable for many firsts, including leasing land for hunting to provide income, establishing a registry for Texas longhorns that brought the legendary breed back from the brink of extinction, and for introducing exotic hoof stock that earned it a reputation world-wide as ‘America’s Original Game Ranch’. With an established infrastructure, it is a notable destination for native and exotic hunting, Longhorn cattle and animal auctions, ranch tours, social and corporate events, and superb recreation and relaxation.

Showplace -- the word that best describes this 150±-acre ranch (pending a new survey) just outside the little town of Marquez, which is only 18 miles off of I-45 west of Centerville. The custom rock and pipe

Mill Creek Ranch Central Texas v Leon Co. v Marquez

entrance with automatic security gate off the county road gives you a sneak peek as to what the rest of the place is going to look like. The main road through the ranch is made of crushed limestone and there are cattle guards at every junction so that you don’t have to open any gates. The topography on this ranch is very unique with amazing elevation relief that supports several different hilltop views where you can liter-

ally see for miles and miles. The composition of woods and improved pastures is very handsome and compliments this piece of land as the perfect combination of cattle and hunting ranch. All of the interior fences are regular height cattle fences, but the entire perimeter will be under game-proof high fence with the coyote wire along the bottom to keep the bad guys out. The pastures at Mill Creek Ranch have benefited from an extensive and meticulous program of fertilization and herbicide over the years that have developed them to the quality that they currently provide for grazing and hay production. They are divided into grazing pastures and lush hay meadows that have been treated with the utmost care and attention for years and the hard work really shows. The improvements at Mill Creek Ranch are first class all the way. The 2,950-square-foot main house is a custom-built stone and stucco home with a huge gourmet kitchen, open living area with stone fireplace, large utility room, half-bath and a spacious master suite all on the first floor with stained concrete floors. The second floor has two more bedrooms with a loft area in between. A huge breezeway is also an outdoor entertainment area that connects the main house to the guesthouse, which is 415 square feet and has a bedroom, bath and kitchenette. There are several tractor and equipment sheds as well as hay/storage barns. The working pens for the cattle are top notch with a catch trap system that has had some serious thought put into their construction. Mill Creek Ranch is a genuine showplace where all the hard work has been done for you. All you need to do is load up your friends and family, come up to the country and start enjoying the good life! $1,100.000.

These 150.7 acres, just south of town off FM 2539, offer a fantastic mix of open pasture and wooded land.

The back 60 acres or so are all wooded and offer huge hardwoods, a live creek, some creek bottomland and some rolling hills. This section of the ranch has been devoted to wildlife habitat and is great for hunting. The crown jewel is the 17±-acre spring-fed lake stocked full of trophy bass and crappie. There are a number of hilltop homesites around the lake to build on. There are 300± tons of cut limestone rock on site that the owner has for the construction of a home as well as a concrete slab.

The Dipper Ranch

5,600 Acres

T

South Texas v Webb County v Freer

The Dipper Ranch is a 5,600-acre high fence whitetail deer hunting ranch and breeding operation abundant with native South Texas game, including trophy whitetail, dove, quail, javelin, wild hogs, buffalo, trophy bass and a variety of small game. The ranch is 23 miles from Encinal and 24 miles from Freer. The front entrances touch Highway 44. The owners have invested considerable resources and time into the Dipper Ranch with the goal of building a world-class whitetail hunting experience. While the ranch is blessed with excellent native brush, the owners launched an intensive supplemental feeding and range improvement program. Over the years, they have installed 32 protein feeder stations that provide in excess of 120 tones of protein annually. The wild deer population is approximately one deer per every 14 acres. Even though Dipper Ranch possesses incredible native whitetail genetics, an intensive pasture management program has been designed and implemented. To support their program, the owners constructed a deer breeding facility in 2007 to further enhance the development and quality of their whitetail population. The trophy breeding herd consists of ten 200+ Boone & Crockett-class whitetail bucks and 150 does of superior genetic quality. The Dipper Ranch has abundant water with 13 lakes and ponds, stocked with fish, as well as 1 water well. There are 20,000+ square feet of new facilities, which include a main house, guest quarters, ranch foreman’s house and a ranch facilities manager’s house. In addition, a 10,000-square-foot operations hub includes a mechanics shop, welding and fabrications facility plus a wood working shop. Last, there is a 11,250-square-foot equipment storage facility that includes a ranch office with a game processing and storage room. Owner will convey of all owner’s minerals which is approximately a 1/8 plus 50% royalty on 640 acres. Property ID: 46261

Caiman Ranch

O

1,000 to 2,002 Acres

South Texas v La Salle County v Encinal

Originally part of the 250,000-acre Callaghan Ranch, the Caiman Ranch was in the same family from 1947 up until 2008. About 140 miles south of San Antonio, 55 miles northeast of Laredo and 20 miles east of Encinal, this property is long known as the “Promised Land” for bruiser, whitetail bucks. Caiman Ranch carries the reputation as one of the best whitetail deer ranches in Texas.

Deer taken from the ranch have consistently won local contests, including Los Cazadores, the Muy Grande and the Cola Blanca. This sportsman’s paradise also features lots of turkey, wild hogs, quail and dove. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced into four pastures and features 8-foot net wire game-proof fencing along the eastern boundary and barbed wire fencing along the remaining boundaries. All of the major South Texas brush species are represented in abundance, including guajillo, guayacan, granjeno, blackbrush, mesquite trees and Huisache trees, which provide food for wildlife, in addition to the excellent brush. Improvements include a 4,200-square-foot, Spanish-style hacienda with six bedrooms, five baths, concrete slab, stucco exterior, Saltillo tile floors, mostly 9-foot ceilings, deep porches and a large walled courtyard with a traditional outdoor fountain. Other buildings include a 1,700-square-foot foreman’s house with three bedrooms and two baths, a 2,665-square-foot barn, a 1,640-square-foot shed and a 600-square-foot workshop. The Caiman Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to about 322-feet in the Los Olmos Creekbed, the ranch features soils with clay or loam surface layers, which are the key to the excellent, diverse vegetation. A 4,280-footdeep well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies water to the headquarters, one of two stock tanks on the ranch and various water troughs.

Wet-weather Olmos Creek flows through the western section of the ranch, and holds pockets of water for extended periods of time. This is the perfect opportunity for an outdoorsman who desires to own one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state. Property ID: 46262
