Graves Ranches

Graves Ranches is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Bowie, TX, situated in Montague County and the Wichita Falls area. Owner Matt Harris has raised Hereford cattle for more than a decade and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association with routine genetic health testing. Every calf grazes on open pastures with regular handling sessions to support a calm nature and consistent social skills.

The ranch uses rotational grazing across native grassland to boost herd wellness and foster soil health. Graves Ranches blends decades of local farming tradition with attention to individual animals, resulting in cattle that perform steadily in both pasture and show settings. Local veterinarians note the herd’s mild temperament and solid frame as strengths that ease routine care. Barn stalls and shade structures are available for younger calves during extreme weather. Breeding stock is selected for structural soundness and uniformity across shoulders and hindquarters, following standard breed conformation guidelines.
