Bowden Springs / Morris Ranch

Bowden Springs / Morris Ranch raises Brahman cattle on a family-owned property in Fredericksburg, TX, located in Gillespie County and the Texas Hill Country near Austin. The ranch has been breeding registered Brahman cattle for several years and participates in national registries, performance testing initiatives and comprehensive herd health programs.

All animals undergo routine health testing with accredited veterinarians, and calves are raised on open rolling pastures with attentive, hands-on care through every growth stage. Their husbandry philosophy emphasizes low-stress handling techniques, early socialization and shelter strategies designed to promote resilience in variable climate conditions. Selection focuses on structural soundness, heat tolerance, maternal traits and calving ease to suit regional demands and long-term herd productivity.

Pasture rotations, native grass preservation and well-constructed shelters support cattle wellness through Texas’s hot summers and occasional cold snaps. Potential buyers often remark on the cattle’s calm disposition, uniform conformation and consistent performance in both commercial and show environments. A quietly family-run operation, the ranch combines decades of practical experience with attention to animal well-being and offers transparency through on-site visits by appointment.
