Rim Ranch

Rim Ranch is home to Miniature Hereford cattle in Jourdanton, TX in South Texas near San Antonio. Patrick Rakowitz has been breeding Miniature Hereford cattle for over a decade and follows American Hereford Association health protocols.

Each calf spends its first weeks on pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments, and all stock receive vaccinations according to a veterinarian’s schedule. Herds rotate between grass and hay fields seasonally, and cattle have access to covered loafing sheds throughout the year. The ranch’s small herd size allows for close monitoring of growth and health, and Patrick maintains detailed records for breeding pairs to track lineage and performance.

These cattle adapt well to Texas heat, reflecting careful selection for resilience and moderate frame size. Neighbors and local farmers appreciate the ranch’s low-impact grazing methods that support soil health and biodiversity. Record keeping includes up-to-date health certificates and weight tracking to ensure transparency.
