Twenty-Eight North Farm

Twenty-Eight North Farm raises Dutch belted or lakenvelder cattle in Mathis, TX, Jim Wells County near Corpus Christi. The farm emphasizes responsible breeding, participating in recognized herd books and conducting quarterly health testing to support sound genetics and overall wellness across all age groups.

Its cattle graze on native pastures dotted with live oaks and receive daily attention to encourage calm handling and steady growth. Shelters, secure fencing and rotational paddocks provide protection and varied forage throughout the year, including shade during the hottest months. Owner Enrique Espinoza III combines ranching tradition with attentive calving protocols and hands-on rearing to foster healthy herds.

Calves are socialized early and learn to navigate open fields alongside adult animals, building confidence before their first turnout. One reviewer noted the cattle’s gentle nature and consistent conformation across breeding lines, praising their friendly disposition. Pasture rotation and low stress handling reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable ranching and animal well-being throughout each season.
