Brite Ranch
L.C. Brite arrived in Presidio County on October 12, 1885.
  He established a Hereford Ranch on the grazing plains at the base of Capote Mountain, bordered by the Sierra Vieja rim rock on the west.  Brite fell in love with and married Miss Edward McMinn Anderson, and the couple had two children.  Jane Brite White, granddaughter of L.C. Brite, and her husband James E. White, Jr., currently manage the Brite Ranch. 

Brite has only had four ranch managers since its inception.  L.C. Brite raised a herd of unique linebred Herefords, branded Bar Cross, still continued into a fifth generation of cowmen.  Brite opened a general store and a post office was planned in 1914.  The Brite Ranch continues to operate one of the oldest and largest closed herds of Hereford cattle in the United States. 

Brite closed his herd in 1915.  The Highland Hereford Breeders Assn was founded in 1918 with the help of Brite.  Brite Ranch has been providing quality Herefords in Texas since 1885..  J.E. White, Jr., and his sons continue the tradition by offering one of the largest Hereford production sales in the country.  McMinn (Mac) is a partner in the Hereford operation.  Mac has been riding and training horses most of his life.  Owning Doc T Bar changed the Brite Ranch Remuda future.

Ranch Raised
 
The ranches where these horses are raised are located in Presidio and Jeff Davis County.  With the family being in the ranching industry for over 100 years,  horses are a necessary part of ranch life.  As you can well see,  we are here for the long haul and want to share with you the joy of a well bred—well started ranch horse. 

Ranch Raised Horses

Ranch Raised Horses

Our ranch raised quarter horses had pedigrees with years of cow work behind them and these horses will willingly work a cow.

All that said, their dispositions also makes any ride a pleasure
   They are excellent prospects for cutting, roping, reining, team penning and pleasure.  Our joy is raising a well broke horse, with a gentle disposition, and completely trainable horses that handle ranch work as normal daily routine.   Brite Ranch Raid
