Rosebud Ranch

Rosebud Ranch is a turn-key yearling cattle operation with exceptional Brazos River frontage. Set in the heart of Central Texas, this impressive 904± acre property offers a rare combination of productive coastal Bermuda pastures, abundant water, extensive improvements, and proven operational track record. The property can be best described as a true “beef factory”. Located near Rosebud, Texas, the ranch sits just 40 miles southeast of Waco and 60 miles northwest of Bryan/College Station, providing convenience without compromising privacy or agricultural integrity.

The ranch features beautiful rolling pastures of coastal Bermuda grass, widely regarded as one of the most desirable forage bases for a yearling program. With 1.3 miles of F.M. 413 frontage and approximately 5,000 feet of Brazos River frontage, the property benefits from rich soils, reliable moisture, and a diverse landscape ideal for both livestock production and recreation. Mature Oak trees scattered throughout the ranch add shade, value, and diversity, supporting both cattle comfort and wildlife habitat.

Currently run as a viable and profitable yearling operation, the ranch’s layout and infrastructure are designed for efficiency, scale, and ease of management. The property is cross fenced into numerous pastures, enabling rotational grazing practices that maximize forage utilization and provide ease of supplemental feeding. A robust water system supports the operation, featuring 4 water wells connected through an integrated piped network supplying 16 strategically placed 900-gallon concrete troughs, along with additional ponds and creek water located across the ranch, serving both cattle and wildlife.

The ranch’s productive forage base, strategic cross fencing, reliable water distribution system, and centralized working facilities collectively support excellent performance metrics for a yearling program including consistent weight gain, efficient forage utilization, and reduced operational overhead. The property is equally well suited for a cow/calf program with minimal transition required.
