Cardwells U Bar Ranch

Cardwells U Bar Ranch breeds Hereford cattle in Manor, TX, serving Central Texas near Austin. For years the ranch has maintained membership in the American Hereford Association and participated in health-testing protocols, ensuring robust genetics and clear screening for common conditions. The herd grazes rotationally across native pastures, with each animal spending mornings in open fields and evenings in shaded loafing areas, supported by daily hands-on care from a small on-site team.

A family-rooted operation, the ranch focuses on preserving traditional bloodlines noted for calm temperaments and strong muscling. Calves are socialized from an early age, bonding with staff through regular handling and onsite calf workshops, while mature cattle contribute to pasture health by following a planned grazing schedule.

Local pride and sustainable practices guide every stage, reflecting a blend of practical ranching and stewardship that defines its approach. Prospective buyers receive detailed lineage information and an overview of the ranch’s grazing management before selection.
