About Loma Vista:

The Loma Vista Ranch, family owned and operated, was founded in 1941 deep in the brush country of South Texas. The family patriarch, a Texas oil industry pioneer and original founder of the ranch became a charter member of Santa Gertrudis Breeders International in the same year (1941). Santa Gertrudis cattle were a new breed developed by the King Ranch.

In subsequent years more Santa Gertrudis cattle, horses and whitetail deer, all from the King Ranch made their way to Loma Vista.

Despite being a working cattle ranch, wildlife conservation and the development of an outstanding whitetail deer herd were part of everyday life as far back as the early 1960's.

By the mid 1960's over 2,000 head of Santa Gertrudis cattle grazed the Loma Vista acreage. The family properties included over 25,000 acres of rangeland in South Texas. The main Loma Vista ranch held over 15,000 acres under one fence.

By the mid 1970's cattle buyers from virtually every state and Canada made their way annually to South Texas to buy cattle marketed under the Loma Vista name.

Loma Vista - part of a rich Texas heritage dating to before the battle of the Alamo.
