Star Gate Ranch

Star Gate Ranch is a registered Irish Dexter cattle breeder in Pittsburg, TX, East Texas near Tyler. Ron Deloach has been raising Irish Dexter cattle for several years, working with the American Dexter Cattle Association and ensuring each animal undergoes routine genetic and hoof health evaluations. Animals graze on rotational pastures designed for optimal forage diversity and calves are handled daily to promote calm temperaments. A balanced supplemental diet of grains and mineral mixes supports steady growth and strong immune systems.

The ranch sits on land the Deloach family has managed for three generations, blending time-honored grazing methods with up-to-date welfare standards. Livestock live in spacious barns with straw bedding and access to open shade, allowing cattle to express natural behaviors year-round. Weaning protocols emphasize minimal stress and gradual herd integration to support healthy social bonds. Visitors often note the herd’s consistent health and gentle disposition as a testament to attentive, hands-on care.
