As a percentage of the population, Americans are getting older. With their aging and passing, America is poised for the greatest transfer of wealth in its history. Land is part of that mix.

Economists and financial reporters get caught up in the numbers. Granted, they’re big—and it’s easy to do, especially if you’re not privileged, as we are as land professionals, to know the people whose lives are intertwined with the land that is changing hands.

Those old-timers, who have logged seven, eight or even nine decades, carry the legacy of America in the lines on their faces. In today’s fastpaced world where it seems that most people are content to do what’s easy but not necessarily what is right, these salt-of-the-earth men and women are often characterized as anachronisms, out of step and out of place. Our youth-oriented culture renders them invisible.

As we, who have shared coffee around their kitchen tables or enjoyed a chicken-fried steak at the auction barn café know, their wisdom, independence and toughness, are undervalued assets. Their drug of choice is work. Their handshakes are more binding than any lawyercontrived contract. They trade in the commodities of trust and respect, both of which are to be earned and never squandered. While they typically laugh loudly and often, they generally don’t suffer fools.

Recently, a colleague and friend of mine lost her father. She called him “Daddy” because he told her, “I’d rather be called S.O.B. than Father.” And then he laughed, but she knew he meant it. For some unknown reason that moniker seemed pretentious to him, and he didn’t abide pretense.

He and his wife raised my friend and her brothers on a cow-calf operation in Lee County. Both sides of the family arrived in those sand hills and clay prairies in 1869. They put down roots and absorbed the lessons of the land. His sons are managing the day-to-day now as Austin sprawls down from the west and Houston pushes up from the east.

Despite the changes, the family has worked to pass the important stuff from generation to generation. For the moment, it appears the legacy is intact. On the patriarch’s death, his 24-year-old grandson, who is following in his footsteps at the TCU Ranch Management Program, wrote the following:

“Today I said goodbye to a man who is the reason I am where I am today, the reason I chose the profession I chose—and the reason I am the man I am today.

He was a man of high morals and of few words of admiration, but you never questioned that he loved you or where you stood. He was tough and hard, yet soft and gentle.

I’ll remember the days we spent feeding cows and fixing fence. I won’t forget the hours we spent talking about the weather and the hopefulness in his voice that it was going to rain.

But the thing that stuck with me the most is the love he had for my grandmother. His passing was six months before their 60th wedding anniversary, quite a feat to be made. However, from the way he’d look at her when he’d goose her in the kitchen or give her a hard time, you would’ve thought they were newlyweds. He taught me more about love and life than he will ever know— and I will cherish the memories.

This isn’t a goodbye my dear Pa, this a see you again.”

High expectations. Hard work. And faith.

In my estimation, every kid needs a Pa like this because America needs people like this—today and forever.

Y -6 RANCH

113,650± Acres

DAVIS & PRESIDIO COUNTIES, TEXAS

JEFF

Encompassing 113,650± acres in Jeff Davis and Presidio counties, the sprawling Y-6 Ranch is home to a rich history, rugged desert beauty, diverse wildlife and legendary elbow room.

This Texas original was created by combining seven ranches including the famous Means Y-6 Ranch established near Valentine in 1894 and the Vieja Pass Ranch, once owned by the pioneering mountaineer Evan Means, where Pancho Villa stayed in the early 1900s. The Butterfield Trail, the established route connecting San Antonio and El Paso, crossed over the north portion of the ranch for miles. Travelers used the landmark Y-6 Hills to confirm their course.

Its history precedes Anglo settlement by millennia. The Mean Cache of 1,250 arrowheads, which is now on display at Sul Ross University, was discovered on the ranch in 2002. Like the Livermore Cache, it was constructed by the peoples of the Livermore phase, a nomadic culture of hunters and gatherers who inhabited the region around the Davis Mountains from approximately 800 to 1350 AD.

The ranch is home to a variety of topographical features that define the landscape north and south of Highway 90 including the Valentine Grasslands, Y-6 Hills, Sierra Vieja Mountains, Vieja Canyon, Soldier Mesa and Wild Horse Draw. The views of the mountains are breathtaking.

Within its fences, you’ll find an excellent crosssection of various habitat types found in the high-, mid- and lower elevation of West Texas from rock outcrops and montane woodlands to oak savannahs, spring cienegas, rolling yucca grasslands to tobosa flats and desert canyons and scrublands. The vegetation is dominated by Chihuahuan Desert grasslands of cane bluestem, blue gramma, green sprangletop, tobosa, black gramma and sideoats gramma. A diversity of native trees including Emory oaks, Gray oaks, juniper, desert willow, soapberry, hackberry and Mexican walnut dot the landscape.

The convergence of grassland and desert habitats creates some of the best hunting opportunities in West Texas. Pronghorn, aoudad, mountain lion, elk and mule deer call the ranch home. The habitat grows big muleys as confirmed by a 223 gross B&C buck taken in the Y-6 Hills in years past. The Valentine Grasslands support

javelina, fox, ringtail cat, coyote, dove, Gambel’s quail and abundant, large coveys of blue/scaled quail. Despite its vast remoteness, the modern Y-6 Ranch is just 30 minutes from Fort Davis and Marfa. It is divided into three major operations—the Means Y-6 Ranch, the Chispa Ranch and the Vieja Pass Ranch—each with its own unique combination of improvements, history and management.

Means Y-6 Ranch (68,900± acres)

This offering combines the original Y-6 Ranch, a portion of El Muerto Springs Ranch and a series of irrigated farms along Highway 90. The original Y-6 Ranch, north of Highway 90 next to Valentine, includes all the Y-6 Hills centered in the middle of a broad Chihuahuan desert grassland at the foothills of the towering Davis Mountains. The ranch has been managed by descendants of the Means family for over 125 years with a focus on livestock production and wildlife.

Highlights include:

• Headquarters' historic adobe home

• Second rock owners’ home with several courtyards, garage, and attached bunk house, cantina, green house and covered garden

• Tack room, horse stalls, pens and turn outs

• Large work barn with electricity and concrete floors

• Several outbuildings including a historic bathhouse and icehouse

• Large set of shipping pens at the headquarters and several sets of working pens

• Excellent road system

• 14 water wells with numerous elevated storage tanks and more than 50 water troughs

• Several surface water tanks

• Older irrigation wells at fallow farms along highway

• Numerous pastures and traps all set up for a working cattle operation with average stocking of 550 animal units/year

• Old hunting lodge up in the Y-6 Hills

Chispa Ranch (10,000± acres)

The Chispa Ranch, once owned by the White family, fronts on the south side of Highway 90 in the Wild Horse Draw Valley. Wide sweeping tobosa and gramma grasslands transition up into scrubland and rise high into and include the Sierra Vieja Mountains. Today, it is operated by the Brite Ranch heirs as a cattle and hunting ranch.

Highlights include:

• Headquarters compound with main house under huge shade trees

• Air conditioned and heated dog breeding kennel

Large barn with several outbuildings

• Bunkhouse with kitchen

• Shipping pens at the headquarters with two other pasture pens

• Four water wells with large storage capacity and more than 15 water troughs

One large seasonal natural lake

• Two excellent dirt tanks

• Excellent road system

Vieja Pass Ranch (34,750± acres)

The third operation, which is below the rim, is a combination of several ranches including Evan Means’ historic Vieja Pass Ranch, Soldier Springs, Van Horn Creek and several other smaller ranches. As the most scenic part of the larger ranch it features national park quality vistas, deep canyons, towering cliffs, jagged bluffs and exotic geology.

In addition to being breathtakingly beautiful, the ranch offers excellent recreational hunting along with a productive cattle operation and topquality road network. Waterers are working on most of the ranch. Vieja Pass Complex of adobe and rock homes and rooms with extensive patios sits under pecans, oaks and pomegranates.

Highlights include:

• Vieja Spring once called Bear Spring runs through the Vieja Pass Complex

• Numerous solar wells and elevated poly tanks with pipelines provide extensive watering capacity

• Recently maintained internal road system with great access through the ranch

• Airstrip (in need of repair)

• Several dirt tanks, springs and live water creeks

The Y-6 Ranch brings the best of far West Texas into singular focus. Within its fencelines, discerning buyers and modern pioneers will discover some of the best grasslands, mountains, canyonlands and outright beauty found within this ruggedly majestic region.

The Y-6 Ranch is available as a single unit (113,650± acres at $80,701,500) or divided into two exceptional ranches (Below the Sierra Vieja Rim 34,750± acres at $540/acre or $18,765,000 and Above the Sierra Vieja Rim 78,900± acres at $785/ acre or $61,936,500). °

La Brisa Ranch

596.49± Acres in Carrizo Springs, Texas

PRESENTED BY BOWNDS RANCHES

Located in Maverick County between Carrizo Springs and Eagle Pass, La Brisa Ranch is 596.49± acres of South Texas wildlife heaven. Nestled in the heart Texas’ famed Golden Triangle and surrounded by large ranches, La Brisa is home to white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkeys, Bobwhite quail, feral hogs, javelina, waterfowl and more.

Sustained by rich soils, the vegetation is a diverse mix of native grass and nutritious browse and brush. The array includes honey mesquite, persimmon, black brush, white brush, soap bush, guajillo, cenizo and more. The existing “wildlife buffet” in one of Texas’ most legendary locales offers an opportunity to develop exceptional whitetail hunting.

Of course, if hunting is not the new owner’s primary interest, the ranch is a blank canvas that can become a masterpiece sport shooting destination or private retreat. The land is level and private, so the opportunities are limited only by the imagination. Electricity is available. And oil field traffic is non-existent.

A deeded easement road provides access from US Highway 277 to the ranch’s entrance. Traversing the ranch is easy with miles of well-kept ranch roads, trimmed senderos and trails.

A large stock tank sustains wildlife. Both banks of wet-weather Chueco Creek lie within the ranch, providing private access when it’s flowing.

Texas is a sprawling state, but the La Brisa is worth the drive. The ranch is about one hour southwest of Uvalde (69± miles); one± hour south of Del Rio (71± miles); two± hours north of Laredo (112± miles); two-and-a-half± hours southwest of San Antonio (145± miles); three-and-a-half± hours southwest of Austin (225± miles); five± hours west of Houston (340± miles).

La Brisa Ranch is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Golden Triangle. It’s a destination of a lifetime in wild Texas.

To experience La Brisa Ranch for yourself, call Brandon Bownds with Bownds Ranches at (830) 966-6111 (office) or (210) 288-4325 (mobile). The ranch is listed for $1,759,643 °

123.5± Acres Medina County

CB Farm, located just 30 minutes west of San Antonio in Medina County, is a 451-acre ± haven of live water and natural productivity.

Located in an ecological transition zone, the land showcases the best of the Hill Country and South Texas. While the low-fenced farm has been managed primarily for dove (and offers some of the state’s best wing shooting), the farm is also home to white-tailed deer, feral hogs, freeranging exotics and a host of varmints, small game and non-game species. The Verde Creek Outpost, converted from the original New Fountain Post Office, is a multi-purpose facility that is outfitted with Yancey Water Corporation Supply water. Another structure, the former New Fountain Café, is completely empty and awaiting the new owner’s personal stamp. The property has frontage on FM 2676 as well as County Roads 4256 and 451 ensuring easy, unfettered access.

The combination of easy access, plentiful water and unmatched productivity is rare. CB Farm has a place in an investment portfolio—and your family’s life.

BW Ranch

1,874.83± Acres in Bandera, Texas

PRESENTED BY HOOD REAL ESTATE INC.

Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County, BW Ranch offers live water and some of the most magnificent views in the country.

The 1,874.83± acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville (and its airport with two runways up to 6,000 feet), and 42 miles to San Antonio.

Land, Wildlife and Water

In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include a stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.

The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.

Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other non-game species and songbirds.

Two Longhorns also roam the ranch. One’s horns measured 13.5 feet the last time a tape was put to them. Those numbers place him in worldrecord territory.

Year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water for wildlife easily accessible throughout the ranch.

An eight± acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.

The ranch boasts a second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.

Living

The three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house reflects its setting. Native limestone defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye to simple, comfortable elegance, the bright airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm wood accents, Saltillo tiles and oversized windows. In the sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, the line between outside and inside is seemingly invisible.

In addition, the home’s open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room and trophy room. Its aesthetic and design invite gathering.

Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner’s taste and specifications are limitless.

A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace.

The comfortable three-bedroom, two-bathroom caretaker’s quarters with a full kitchen and large porches, front and back, is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests.

Infrastructure

More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access.

The main barn (approximately 40x60-foot), which is constructed from metal and insulated, features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple.

An equipment barn (approximately 20x45-foot) with a game cleaning station that includes winches, running water and a walk-in cooler rounds out the infrastructure.

The Opportunity

The Hill Country is known for its live water and breathtaking scenery, but it’s rare to find a ranch that has both with plenty of elbow room. The fact that BW Ranch is also conveniently located to small towns and San Antonio makes it one of one.

To experience the natural beauty of the BW Ranch for yourself, call Howard W. Hood with Hood Real Estate Inc. at 830-739-3815. The ranch is listed for $16,000 per acre °

310± Acres in Boerne, Texas

PRESENTED BY ASHLEY ROBERTSON, KUPER SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

Sisterdale Farms, a highly productive 310± acre, lowfenced, live water ranch in Kendall County, artfully unites history, function and tranquil beauty. Perfectly situated between Boerne and Fredericksburg on Sisterdale Road, the extraordinary estate is just under an hour from the San Antonio International Airport.

This showplace ranch, set within the beautiful riparian valley of the cypress-lined Guadalupe River, is brimming with history and reflects the culture of bygone days. In 1847, Baron Ottmar Von Behr, a meteorologist and naturalist, settled here and gave Sisterdale, Texas, her name.

Von Behr hosted several distinguished visitors, including Frederick Law Olmstead, an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic and public administrator, who co-designed Central Park in New York City. Olmstead wrote about this ranch, or Texas Latin Settlement as he called it, in his book, “A Journey Through Texas.”

The original homestead was brought back to life, glorifying its past and celebrating its future. Skilled craftsmen took the house (and the barns surrounding the home) down to the original paints, varnishes, stains and flooring dating back to the

late 1840s. In keeping with the tradition of form, fit and style dictated by the rest of the home, the owners had the craftsmen add a gourmet kitchen, laundry room and two full baths.

The main residence, designed and built by Don McDonald in 2015, is nestled into the landscape. From its perch atop a bluff, the one-of-a-kind home overlooks a picturesque Coastal field, a stocked pond, the twisting cypress line of the Guadalupe River and the original farmstead.

McDonald, a San Antonio-based AIA architect, designs estates that showcase the region’s culture and history using traditional building materials. Designers such as McDonald, who derive satisfaction from both design and construction, create structures that are rooted in the land upon which they are built and meet the unique needs of each individual client. The house’s composition and organization are visually ambiguous, thus allowing for seemingly unintentional romanticism, rendered in a natural and picturesque manner.

The main residence was designed to resemble an old German settlement consisting of three buildings formed into one cohesive design. The exterior, consisting of articulated rock work with taunt seams, supports a field of coarse stone known as Sisterdale Limestone. Hardwood handsplit shingles weathered to a silver-gray echo

the region’s 19th century cypress shingles and sheath roofs. The indoor and outdoor spaces are harmoniously linked, providing for open, modern living and entertaining while allowing for scale, intimacy and personality contrasts.

From the motor court, guests descend to the beautiful front doors that open to one of two long bay loggias looking into and through the exquisite dining room with long-range Hill Country views.

The left-wing loggia leads you to the chef’s kitchen which opens to the family room with walls of windows, an underground wine cellar, home office, utility room and two additional guest suites. The right-wing loggia leads you to the beautiful formal living room, library, master retreat and upstairs children’s wing.

Hand-crafted light fixtures, mechanical grills and hardware designed by Dwaine Simpson and Roy Bellows bedeck the interior. Hand-carved fireplaces, constructed by Russ Thayer, adorn the home’s most used spaces, including the master bedroom and bath, dining room and formal living room. The kitchen includes a Thayer-made custom pizza oven. This singular estate also boasts a separate guest house and office with 360-degree views.

With a list of superlatives too lengthy to mention, Sisterdale Farms is sure to meet the needs—and desires—of the most discriminating buyer. °

STORY BY LORIE A. WOODWARD

PHOTO BY NATALIE RHEA

The Texas Wildlife Association is equipping food conscious Texans with the knowledge and skills to secure and enjoy wild game.

“Food doesn’t get any more natural or sustainable than wild game,” said TWA’s Engagement Coordinator Kristin Parma. “Whether it’s around a kitchen table or a campfire, a well-prepared meal can help people discover that their passions for food, conservation and hunting are complementary.”

She continued, “It’s amazing what good things happen for wildlife—and people—when everyone discovers we are on the same team.”

The time is right to talk wild turkey and more. According to a 2019 survey conducted by Responsive Management, 80 percent of Americans, a historically high number, approve of legal hunting. While hunting’s climbing approval numbers can be attributed to several things, it coincides with the rise of the locavore movement, an interest in local, natural, sustainable food— including meat.

TWA’s first foray into using wild game as common ground for hunters and non-hunters came in 2017 with the advent of its Hunt to Table dinners. Urban and suburban attendees were so intrigued and invigorated by the possibility of harvesting their own meat they began requesting formal hunting instruction.

TWA responded to the novices’ enthusiasm by launching its Adult Mentored Hunting Program

KRISTIN’S TOP FOUR TASTY TIPS

Parma, who is always on the go to events or far-flung outdoor destinations, slowed down long enough to share her top four tips for beginning wild game chefs.

1. Know your cuts and your techniques

Knowing the best technique for cooking different cuts of wild game is essential for having a positive cooking—and eating—experience. When people ask about cooking wild game, they often share their negative experiences. In most cases, they were trying to turn a particular cut of meat into something it just wasn’t meant to be.

Tough muscles that get used a lot such as top and bottom roasts that play a big role in an animals’ movements are typically better suited for braises or other forms of low and slow cooking. More delicate cuts such as backstraps and tenderloins are best fitted to searing or grilling fast over high heat. If cooking over high heat, be it in a cast-iron pan or on the grill, be sure to use an oil with a high smoke point such as avocado, peanut, sunflower or extra virgin olive oil.

2. Season well and often

Don’t be afraid of seasonings. Wild game is the perfect canvas for a myriad of spice blends and mixtures. No, you’re not covering up the “gamey” flavor (which, by the way, is minimized through proper processing and handling), you’re enhancing it.

Salt can do wonders for any meat, but it is particularly key to preparing game in way that awakens the palate. If you are an afficionado for ethnic cuisine, wild game is one of the best complements to spices such as chilies, turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, allspice and more. Explore curries, spice rubs and herbs. Don’t be timid!

3. Don’t overcook

The most common complaint regarding wild game as a meat is that it is too dry or tough. The likely culprit? Overcooking. When it comes to most game meats, err on the side of rare.

4. Think in (and out) of the box

Think about your favorite foods and simply recreate them using wild game. Whether it’s Birria tacos, Thai curry soup or a simple juicy hamburger, the complex, nuanced flavor of wild game can elevate the simplest dish.

Idea Starters

Here’s a list of Parma’s favorite wild game cookbooks to get your creative juices flowing.

• Buck, Buck, Moose by Hank Shaw

• Afield by Jesse Griffiths

INGREDIENTS

Slow cooker

Wild boar shoulder or ham

1 white onion, sliced

1 head of garlic, peeled

• The Hog Book by Jesse Griffiths

• Hardcore Carnivore by Jess Pryles

Wild Boar BBQ Sliders

BY KRISTIN PARMA

Salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin powder

1 cup orange juice

BBQ sauce

Slider buns and toppings of choice

1. Place meat in slow cooker, add garlic cloves, onion, and seasonings. Cover meat with orange juice and water.

2. Cook on low for eight hours until meat is tender and falls off the bone. Remove meat and shred. Tip: You can strain this juice and reserve stock for soups or use to rehydrate the meat later on.

3. At this point you can add BBQ sauce of your choosing and assemble your sliders or in a hot cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add a touch of oil and the shredded wild boar. Allow to sear until any juices are evaporated and the meat is browned. (Give it a taste and you can add extra seasonings if you like, then the BBQ sauce. This adds a little extra texture and flavor to your meat.)

4. Assemble on toasted slider buns. Serve with pickles, onion, aioli and any other toppings you like. ( I like to serve with my homemade prickly pear BBQ sauce and a "mayo-less" sour-cream based coleslaw with sliced red and green cabbage, carrots and cilantro).

in 2017. Along with safe, ethical hunting and land stewardship, the program emphasizes game handling, processing and preparation.

Each meal during the three-day weekend event features game as the protein. Some meals such as breakfast tacos with wild boar chorizo are basic while others such as chile verde posole are more elevated. The goal is demonstrating the versatility of wild game as an everyday protein.

In 2023, Parma has spearheaded additional educational opportunities. To date, she has led wild game cooking demonstrations at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition and wild game cooking classes at the TWA’s headquarters in New Braunfels.

She is also incorporating wild game cooking demonstrations and outdoor meals into Adult Mentored Hunt weekends as well as special events that she leads such as the annual Texas Youth Hunting Program's Mother/Daughter Javelina Hunt and TWA's first-ever All-Women's Fly Fishing Experience scheduled for later this year on the Nueces River. As part of TWA's firstever Ranch Supper Series dinners, Parma will be cooking collaborative meals featuring wild game

Venison with Blackberry

Balsamic & Grilled Lemons

BY KRISTIN PARMA

INGREDIENTS

1 to 2 pounds venison backstrap, with all silverskin removed

Extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt

Black pepper

1 shallot, diced

Fresh or frozen blackberries

Aged balsamic vinegar to taste

2 tablespoons butter

2 lemons, sliced

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Coat backstrap in olive oil and season generously with sea salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare your hot grill.

Lay the venison on the hot grill or in a cast iron skillet on the fire and sear on all sides, flipping every 30 seconds or so. For medium rare, the venison should have some give when pushed with your finger or tongs. If using a

meat thermometer, the ideal internal temp is 130°-135°F°. I like to pull mine more on the rare side, around 125°F).

3. Take your venison off the fire and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, prepare your sauce. On the same open fire place a cast iron skillet. Add 1 tablespoons butter and diced shallot. Sauté until translucent and shallot starts to brown.

5. Add blackberries and sauté until softened down to a puree.

6. Add balsamic, one tablespoon at a time, making sure not to overpower the blackberries.

7. When the sauce reaches a thickness to your liking remove it from the heat and stir in the rest of the butter.

8. Lay your sliced lemons on the grill. Grill until the lemons are charred on both sides.

9. Slice the venison and serve immediately with grilled lemons and blackberry sauce.

Parma’s skills as a wild game cook have grown alongside her zeal under the mentorship of Austin-based chef Jesse Griffiths. The field-totable trailblazer owns Dai Due, the New School of Traditional Cookery and authored the James Beard award-winning cookbook, The Hog Book

The 36-year-old did not start hunting until after she graduated college and embarked on her career. Today, she and her husband fill their larder by hunting, fishing and foraging. They also enjoy the generosity of other hunters.

"The great thing about being a wild game cook is that many people share their harvests with me to see what I can come up with," said Parma, noting that she's had the opportunity to prepare nilgai, eland, wildebeest, aoudad and most recently bighorn sheep. Parma’s original dishes are inspired by the bounty of the land and the challenge of adapting existing recipes to wild game.

“I want the game to be the star of the dish,” Parma said. “I avoid ingredients with overpowering flavors and concentrate on

finding those that complement and elevate the featured meat.”

For instance, dove is very similar to lean beef. Like beef, doves pair well with mushrooms and red wine as well as butter- or oil-based herb sauces. One of her favorites is chimichurri, an oil-based Brazilian sauce featuring fresh garlic, parsley, cilantro and sometimes other tender herbs such as oregano or mint.

“Wild game cooking is like any other creative endeavor,” Parma said. “Master the basic techniques and then let your imagination run free. Sometimes the results will be better than others, but a day in the field or an evening in the kitchen is never wasted—especially when you share it with friends." °

Texas Land Markets

FIRST QUARTER 2023

Federal Reserve action is exacting a toll on Texas land markets with several brokers reporting deals collapsing because of higher interest rates. Although, market participants saw reductions in activity beginning in the summer of 2022 and continuing through the first quarter of 2023, active buyers continued to support higher prices. However, the frenzied level of activity seen in 2021 and the beginning of 2022 has cooled. The preliminary annualized volume reported to the Real Estate Center of 5,094 sales dropped 39 percent from 2022 levels. Final reports will ease the size of that pullback, but the final number will undoubtedly be substantially less than the 2022 total that has registered a 26 percent drop from 2021 levels. Volumes have continued to decline for six quarters. Preliminary total dollar volume at $1.8 billion dropped substantially below the 2022 first quarter total of $4 billion.

Sales reportedly took longer to close but prices continued to increase, rising to $4,566 per acre, a new record high. However, the rate of price increase declined for the fifth straight quarter to 11 percent down from a 29 percent increase in 2021 quarter four. However, the steady ebb in price growth appeared to have come to a halt as the first quarter change nearly equaled the 12 percent decline in the fourth quarter of 2022. In many areas, observers report weakening demand for ordinary properties but continued interest in higher quality lands. This focus on superior quality properties produces higher prices for observed sales, disguising weakening overall value trends.

REPORT BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND, PH.D. Research Economist, Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University

Panhandle and South Plains

Strong investor demand for land with good water drove prices up 25 percent to a record $1,705 per acre even with a substantial drop in total acres to 65,295 down from 228,937 in 2022 first quarter. The number of sales dropped 36 percent to 379 sales. The drop in acreage drove total dollar volume down 64 percent to $111 million despite the large price increase.

Far West Texas

No reported transactions in the first quarter made it impossible to establish a reliable measure of market prices here. Observers reported no sales activity.

West Texas

Sales activity declined 36 percent to 660 sales, but prices rose a robust 20 percent to $2,398 per acre. Total acreage declined 64 percent to 109,406 acres. At $262 million, total dollar volume dropped 57 percent.

Northeast Texas

Volume declined 38 percent to 1,531 sales and prices increased 9 percent to $7,740 per acre. Despite rising prices, total dollar volume declined 44 percent to $381 million.

Gulf Coast–Brazos Bottom

Volume also dropped in this region, down 38 percent to 690 sales. Prices increased 10 percent to $9,763 per acre. Total dollar volume dropped 43 percent to $275 million.

South Texas

Sales activity south of San Antonio, fell 32 percent to 509 sales. Prices rose 16 percent to $5,743 per acre. However, total dollar volume declined 42 percent to $257 million.

Austin-Waco-Hill Country

Volume of sales dropped 45 percent as buyers shifted from urban areas to the country, with transactions falling to 1,310 sales. Prices in Central Texas topped 2021 prices by 17 percent, rising to $7,238 per acre. However, total dollar volume declined 50 percent to $484 million.

The Future

Federal Reserve Bank activity has begun to apply the brakes to land market activity. However, although the frenzied buying seen in 2022 has cooled, buyers continue to actively purchase good quality rural acreage. Combined with a continuing shortage of inventory for sale, these conditions point to higher prices. °

The ranch’s terrain encompasses bottomlands, majestic bluffs and Indian Mountain, the area’s highest peak. Three observation decks, one outfitted for skeet shooting, are placed at prime locations. Most ranch roads are improved. Cedar has been strategically removed. Several oak varieties, elm, sycamore and other native tree species as well as native grasses, forbs and brush comprise the diverse vegetation.

The majority of the ranch is high-fenced, but a few select sections have been lowfenced to maintain Boone & Crockett Club eligibility. Native white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey as well as free-ranging exotics including elk, auodad, re d stag, addax antelope and axis, fallow, and sika deer are spotted regularly.

In recent years, T&C Ranch has been managed solely for wildlife. Approximately 24 box blinds are set up on the ranch.

Nine water wells (one solar and eight electric) and several stock ponds are scattered throughout. During wet years, Sycamore Creek and Little Sycamore Creek run.

Lodging, Living and Entertaining

With nine bedrooms and four baths, the lodge can accommodate large groups. Outside gathering spaces include covered porches, a rock patio with fire pit, a barbecue area and the thatch-roof African Palapa. Pole-mounted kerosene lanterns illuminate the night.

The rock lodge features a stone fireplace, custom mesquite furniture, a fully equipped commercial kitchen as well as a media room, office, utility room and walk-in cooler.

The 8,500± square-foot saloon’s focal point is an antique-style bar reminiscent of the Old West. In addition, the saloon boasts 16 custom wooden lockers, a bandstand, custom mesquite furniture, commercial

Rancho Agua Grande

home to big water and big opportunity

17,132± Acres

Kinney & Uvalde Counties

Agua grande means “big water.” Fed by more than 30 springs, year-round, Live Oak Creek, which bisects the 17,132± acre Rancho Agua Grande for about seven miles, is indeed big water. Located about 25 miles northwest of Uvalde and just two hours west of San Antonio, Rancho Agua Grande is one of the largest live water ranches for sale in Texas today.

Both banks of Live Oak Creek lie within the ranch’s borders ensuring complete, private access. The creek’s flow is slowed and pooled by 10 dams. Numerous lakes dot the landscape. Ground water is equally abundant. Water wells have been punched throughout the ranch.

Both Boiling Mountain, the highest peak in Uvalde County, and Salmon Peak, the highest point in Kinney County, are located on Rancho

Agua Grande, adding craggy grandeur. The rugged hills and deep canyons contrast with the shady pecan creek bottom.

Wildlife

Because three ecoregions converge on the high-fenced ranch, the vegetation is diverse. Between 2007 and 2010, more than 10,000 acres of cedar were cleared.

Rancho Agua Grande, run primarily as an exclusive hunting operation, has been the site of numerous high-profile hunting shows. More than 60 species of wildlife ranging from rare exotics to trophy whitetails call the ranch home.

Lodging and Living

The ranch’s main residence, an expansive custom-designed, two-story rock house, is

sited near the ranch’s geographic center. Secluded and private, the home, which is resplendent with high-end finishes, overlooks Live Oak Creek.

Eight mid-19 th century cabins, transplanted from the mountains of Kentucky, have been restored to provide unique guest lodging.

The 6,000± square foot lodge, featuring an antique bar, dance floor and bandstand, is the perfect place to celebrate. The lodge easily accommodates 250 people. By using the additional 2,300± square feet of covered porches, the guest list can swell.

Agua Grande has a 5,800-foot by 75-foot instrument-marked, painted and lighted runway. Other ranch infrastructure includes: two additional three-bedroom and onebath cabins, numerous equipment sheds and storage buildings as well as a meat processing room with a walk-in cooler.

Whitford Ranch

92.83± Acres

Located

It is tempting to stay at home on a ranch like this. Like most in Texas’ “other Hill Country,” the land rises and falls gently. An ideal home site sits near the center of the ranch, offering ultimate privacy. Electricity from Fayette Electric is readily available. The best-positioned tie-in pole has already been identified. Preliminary arrangements have been made with a water well driller to site a well at the new owners’ preferred location.

Recent selective brush clearing has heightened the land’s natural beauty. The well-planned work created a mosaic of pastureland and brush that not only showcases legacy oaks and majestic cedar elms but provides plenty of habitat for wildlife. As part of the brush management efforts, the perimeter has been completely cleared, making it easy to see the neighboring farms and ranches.

In addition, two 10± acre tracts—one in the north part of the ranch and the other in the south— have been cleared to provide additional forage for cattle and wildlife. The areas surrounding the two ponds have also been “cleaned up” to create an oasis for angling if the new owners choose to stock them with bass, catfish, perch, or other suitable freshwater species.

The ranch, which has been used primarily for livestock, maintains an agricultural tax valuation and is home to white-tailed deer and feral hogs. Turkeys, doves, and waterfowl frequent the property as well. It could be easily transitioned to a wildlife tax valuation if the new owners are inclined.

The Whitford Ranch is a rare chance to have it all for those seeking country living with easy access to the world beyond. Contact Conner W. Hood at 830 928 2317

The P. Bode Ranch offers Hill Country living on a scale that is increasingly hard to find. Although most Hill Country ranches of this size are far off the beaten path, access to the P. Bode Ranch is easy, with the entrance being 6± miles from the intersection of I-10 and US-290. The ranch is within easy reach of the small-town amenities of Fredericksburg, Junction and Kerrville, and both Austin and San Antonio are 90± minutes away. The gently rolling hills, covered with native grasses, live oak and cedar, provide a blank canvas of opportunity. Stunning views abound. While it has been used primarily as a cow-calf operation, the ranch is home to a variety of native wildlife. A water well with an electric pump and a concrete holding tank serve the needs of livestock and wildlife. For those looking to create a one-of-a-kind life against the beautiful backdrop of the Hill Country, the P. Bode Ranch offers the opportunity on a rare scale.
