Hides, Horns & Skulls

The Texas Longhorn, a breed steeped in history and resilience, traces its roots back to Spain, arriving in North America in 1493 with Christopher Columbus. Forged by the unforgiving landscapes of the American frontier, Longhorns became a symbol of survival and self-reliance. Known for their ability to endure vast distances without water, thrive in extreme climates, and fend for themselves, these cattle embodied the rugged spirit that inspired the legends of the Western cowboy.

At Waller County Retreat, our longhorns are not only a nod to this storied heritage but also a vital part of our ranch’s character. Each of our majestic cattle carries a piece of history, descended from bloodlines that shaped a nation. Our pastures are canvases for their unique beauty blend of elegance and strength that has stood the test of time. Visitors often remark on their calm demeanor and captivating presence, making them living art in a tranquil landscape.

Our retreat combines this connection to history with modern comforts. Whether you’re here to celebrate a wedding, host a corporate event, or simply enjoy the serenity of ranch life, our longhorns add an unmatched charm. Imagine saying “I do” against the backdrop of these iconic creatures or holding an event that brings you closer to the land and its history.

We invite you to join us at Waller County Retreat, where the legacy of the longhorn lives on, preserving a unique chapter of Texas history while offering a distinctive experience for every guest. Here, the pastures aren’t just scenery, they’re a story waiting to be shared.
