About Loma Vista:

The Loma Vista Ranch, family owned and operated, was founded in 1941 deep in the brush country of South Texas near the community of Loma Vista. 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 Spring of 1974 cattle buyers from 31 states and Canada made their way to South Texas for Loma Vista's sales record setting first annual production sale. Texas Monthly featured Loma Vista's advertising agency in an August 1974 article highlighting the historic April, 1974 sale. In ensuing years cattle buyers from across the USA, Canada & Mexico continued to buy cattle marketed under the Loma Vista name.

Cattle ranching and leather goods go hand in hand. Leather cowboy boots, saddles, chaps and other necessary items are all part of the daily life of a working cattle ranch. So, by the 21st century, a lifetime love for high quality leather items of practical value has evolved into the creation of a line of genuine top grain leather products for both working men and women. These products are now being offered for the first time to discriminating buyers of fine leather accessories.

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