Pasture Raised Beef in Brackettville, TX

On Pinto Farm in Brackettville, Texas we raise our livestock as naturally as possible.  As a result of using Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm as the model for our operation our grass fed beef and goat is of the highest quality.  Pinto Farm beef and goat meat is unadulterated by antibiotics, hormones, or chemicals.  Pinto Farm livestock are pasture raised, not confined to a feed lot or fed corn and grains which they were never meant to digest.  Our animals are clean, watered from Artesian wells, naturally grass fed, and raised in as stress-free an environment as can be provided.

Whenever we drive within earshot of the cattle they come right to us hoping for their alfalfa treats.  It makes them very easy to photograph. 

Pinto Farm is a five mile drive from Brackettville, Texas.  Brackettville has a few claims to fame.  It is where Alamo Village, a working movie set, is located.  Alamo Village is chock full of movie history.  John Wayne's "The Alamo" was filmed at Alamo Village in addition to many more recent movies, commercials, and mini-series.  

Brackettville was the home of the late western artist Bud Breen.  Mr. Breen was a long-time resident in southwest Texas and his art was an homage to life in the Old West. 

Jean Levert Hood, a local artist gaining more and more attention amongst art collectors everywhere with her bold and surprising impressionist work, lives on a small ranch outside of Brackettville.  Her work is greatly inspired by the local flora and fauna.  

 Fort Clark Springs is right across the highway from Brackettville.   The Fort may now be a residential community boasting golf courses, a spring-fed pool, a museum, stables, restaurants, and a hotel but it was once a functioning military fort. Originally established in 1852, Fort Clark Springs is rich with history from several wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
