Local farming note

Gonzales County's varied soil types — from sandy loam to blackland — support diverse forage options that benefit small heritage cattle operations year-round.

Gonzales holds a singular place in Texas history as the site of the first battle of the Texas Revolution, and its agricultural heritage runs just as deep. Gonzales County's mix of post oak, blackland, and sandy loam soils supports a diverse livestock economy, and the county has long been known for quality cattle operations. Mini highland cattle are finding homes here among ranchers who appreciate the breed's hardy constitution and the increasingly strong market for heritage livestock in the region between San Antonio and the Gulf Coast.
