H-O Ranch

H-O Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Fredericksburg, TX in the Texas Hill Country near Austin, follows a grass-focused approach. Gregory Henricksen and his team have been refining their herd for more than a decade, with active participation in national Wagyu associations and regular health screenings. Cattle graze rotationally on coastal bermudagrass and oat pastures, while calves remain with their mothers to foster natural social development and resilience.

This commitment to pasture-based feeding has yielded feeder cattle with high marbling scores at regional livestock shows. The ranch blends traditional ranching methods and selective breeding to balance fertility and growth traits. Guests often remark on the calm temperament and uniformity of the herd, reflecting the ranch’s steady husbandry practices. Beyond breeding, the team manages biosecurity protocols and works with local veterinarians to maintain herd health. Regular barn tours allow prospective buyers to observe feeding routines and animal handling firsthand.
