Local farming note

Hood County's cross-timber soils produce abundant coastal bermuda hay, reducing feed costs for small livestock operations throughout the year.

Granbury and Hood County sit just 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth, making them a prime destination for DFW residents seeking hobby farm acreage within commuting distance of the metroplex. Lake Granbury's scenic shoreline has attracted a community of landowners who take their livestock operations seriously, and mini highland cattle are an increasingly common sight on the county's rolling cross-timber pastures. The region's Brazos River bottomlands provide excellent hay production and year-round water access that supports healthy small-herd operations.
