Enduring Legacies and Resilient Roots


Deep in the windswept plains of South Texas, Harris Ranch stands as a living testament to resilience, heritage, and an unbreakable bond with the land. At the heart of this legacy is Frank Harris, an 80-year-old steward of history, whose dedication to preserving his family's story stretches back to the 19th century.

Through meticulous records and heartfelt recollections, Frank chronicles the trials and triumphs of his ancestors—from his grandfather’s founding of the ranch in 1907 to his father’s perseverance through the Great Depression and the Fever Tick Quarantine. Overcoming droughts, economic hardships, and the challenges of cattle ranching, the Harris family has weathered every storm with determination and adaptability.

More than just a story of ranching, the Harris legacy is one of cultural fusion, strength, and sacrifice. As Frank continues to uphold his family's traditions, his unwavering commitment ensures that future generations will inherit not just the land, but the spirit of those who built it.
