Painted Hills Ranch

About the Ranch

Maria Gonzalez came to cattle the long way — twenty years in veterinary practice before she finally bought the 80-acre property outside Marble Falls she'd been eyeing since residency. Painted Hills Ranch focuses on Miniature Herefords and Dexters, two breeds Maria believes are criminally underrated by the mainstream beef industry. Every animal on the property has been seen by a vet more times than most town dogs, and it shows. Her animals are structurally tight, genuinely gentle, and leave with paperwork that would impress an APHA inspector. If you want cattle from someone who can explain exactly what they ate and when they were vaccinated going back three years, you've found your seller.
