OUR STORY

A FAMILY TRADITION

For generations in Central Texas, the McAtee name has stood for industry, service, and excellence. Today, Brazos Bend Ranch spans 1,200 acres of rolling terrain, natural springs, and majestic oaks overlooking its own 1.5-mile stretch of the Brazos. Blanketed in coastal Bermuda and decorated with historic water outcroppings, Brazos Bend represents the best of what Texas can offer a premium cow-calf operation. For decades, the ranch has invested in its commercial herd of all-natural, grass-fed Brangus cattle, first sired by registered Angus bulls from 44 Farms and now by its own proprietary BBR bulls drawing on the best 44 Farms genetics. The result is a product of uncommon quality—hearty, uniform yearlings, replacement heifers, and young bulls of known, all-natural origin and proven performance.

Brazos Bend Ranch is about family, stewardship, and legacy. Fifty years ago, our parents started something special, and for the next generation, it’s our honor to work alongside them for the benefit of our children.

OUR STORY

THE LEGACY CONTINUES

What began as a young couple’s dream is now a family passion. Brazos Bend Ranch is a second-generation operation led by David R. McAtee II, Krissy McAtee Hughes, and their families. Brazos Bend is where three generations gather to ride together, care for the herd, and celebrate God’s creation. What began as a place to raise horses and cattle has become a place to raise grandchildren — all five of them.
