ESTABLISHED IN 2003
In 2003, Michael and Mary Porter fell in love with the vast rolling hills of Central Texas and purchased 74 acres of land with the intent to secure a number of the surrounding ranches in due time. Over the course of the last 15 years, the ranch has grown to 1500 acres. As the size of the ranch has expanded, so have the husbandry and overall infrastructure on the property.
DOSS, Texas

Elevation: 1729
An unincorporated farming and ranching community at the crossroads juncture of FM 783 and FM 648 in northwestern Gillespie County, Texas.
In 1849, the Doss brothers began operating a mill on Threadgill Creek, north of the current site of Doss. The mill was acquired by William F. Lange in 1859, and was operated by him until 1878 when Julius Lange took over the business. The Doss community originated at the mill. The first post office was at Lange's Mill in 1898, but by 1907 the community was renamed Doss and received its own post office.
