Solitude Ranch

Solitude Ranch Murray grey cattle Elm Mott, Texas, are located in McLennan County and the Brazos Valley near Waco. Solitude Ranch is run by Kevin Nichols and Leslie Nichols, and they follow breed association guidelines with regular health and reproductive soundness screenings. With a family heritage in ranching spanning several decades, they maintain detailed records on each animal’s lineage and breeding outcomes.

The Nichols family raises cattle on rotational pastures, emphasizing maternal strength and a gentle temperament through each generation. Young calves spend time under covered shelters and enjoy early socialization with handlers to support calm handling. On the prairies of central Texas, their pastures blend native grasses with cool-season plantings to support cattle throughout the year. This steady approach to genetics and welfare has resulted in sturdy, well-proportioned animals valued for both beef production and breeding stock.
