The Grün Ranch

The Grün Ranch, located near Scroggins, Texas, raises registered Texas Longhorns on two adjoining properties totaling around 53 acres of pasture and creek frontage. Owned by Derick and Claudia Schaefer, it combines weekend ranch life with corporate careers. Their breeding goals emphasize balanced genetics—horn growth, coloration, confirmation, reproduction, and temperament. The land has been in family hands since WWII, with active soil and forage management to support animal nutrition and land health. Their cattle are showcased in events and ranch visits are welcomed by reservation
