Longhorns

In the heart of the Texas Hill Country lies a picturesque lakeside ranch, home to Karin and Hal Buxton, a couple whose vibrant history and resilient spirit are as captivating as the land they've cultivated. From a career soaring through the skies as an esteemed Air Force pilot to the intricate work of ranching, Hal's journey has been one of courage, determination, and unwavering dedication. Set against the rugged backdrop of Bandera, the 'Cowboy Capital of the World,' the Buxtons' story is a testament to the enduring spirit of the American rancher.

Nestled along the banks of the Sabinal River, some 60 miles west of San Antonio and 30 miles south of the captivating Texas Hill Country, the Shudde Ranch stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Lone Star State. This century-old family ranch, purchased through the painstaking cultivation of Guajillo honey and nurtured across generations, weaves a rich tapestry of tradition, innovation, and a steadfast reverence for the natural world.
