Brite Ranch

Brite Ranch in Marfa, TX raises Hereford cattle in Presidio County and the Trans-Pecos region near Alpine. The operation is led by Hester Anne White, who has spent over a decade working with registered herds and adheres to national herd-book standards.

Animals live on open pasture with shelter in shaded paddocks and benefit from a low-stress handling routine that encourages calm behavior. Cattle receive structured socialization and a diet balanced with locally sourced forage and mineral supplements through all seasons.

White tracks performance metrics for weight gain and fertility to maintain herd health across generations. Visitors often note the ranch’s quiet pace and clear commitment to sustainable ranching alongside a history of community involvement in local livestock events. Recent feedback highlights the ranch’s focus on gentle training and long-term herd stability. For over two decades, White has participated in regional cattle forums to share best practices and support new breeders.
