Description:
The ranch is the perfect, "proven" mix of the varieties of native south Texas brush that produce trophy whitetail.  This area of south Texas is known for its ability to naturally produce quality trophies year after year and is referred to as the "Golden Triangle".  The ranch is the eastern end of the Winship Ranch.  The owners have decided to sell the east 3,000 acres of Yegua Pasture out of the 17,000 +- acre Winship Ranch.  This is an opportunity for you to own a real part of Texas history.  This ranch has been in the same family lineage for almost a century.  The ranch has approximately 3 miles of paved state highway frontage for easy access and is only minutes away from Carrizo Springs and Eagle Pass is only 25 minutes from the ranch.   The ranch is in very good condition due to the  rains last year(approximately 36" through August 2007 )and the hunting for this year was excellent (see harvested trophy above).    The property is directly across the state highway (F.M. 2644) from the Cage Ranch (30,000+- acres) and the north eastern neighbor is the Comanche Ranch (formerly known as the Farias Ranch) which contains approximately 90,000+- acres.  The Comanche Ranch boundary line is the only high fenced portion of the ranch.  Seller will require that the western boundary of this ranch be high fenced after closing.  The ranch does have some areas where the terrain gently rolls into the lower areas.  The ranch has numerous areas that are perfect for working bird dogs and the quail hunting should be excellent this year.   The wildlife pictured in this informational packet were harvested from the Winship Ranch but may or may  not have been harvested from this portion of the ranch.  The harvest pictures are shown to indicate the quality of deer and the genetics of the area.  Eagle Pass airport has a 5,500' x 100' paved runway and the Dimmit County Airport, in Carrizo Springs has a 5,002' x 75' paved runway.   (See Eagle Pass Airport Diagram and Info)  (See Carrizo Springs, Dimmit County Airport Info)
