Engelke Farm & Ranch

Engelke Farm & Ranch, miniature Hereford cattle in Kingsbury, TX, is based in Guadalupe County and the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. It is led by Danielle Engelke, who brings more than ten years of experience in miniature cattle breeding and holds membership in a national registry.

All breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings for genetic conditions, receives vaccinations and hoof care, and lives on rotational pasture that promotes natural foraging. The farm practices early calf handling to encourage gentle temperaments and parity in herd social structure.

Several cows trace their lineage to foundation lines registered in Texas more than fifty years ago, offering a blend of historical bloodlines and manageable size. Recent improvements include upgraded fencing and shade structures suited to Texas weather conditions. Calves are socialized with family visits and are introduced to gentle handling routines that help prepare them for varied farm environments.
