Chase Currie, Manager
Joseph Fitzsimons and his sister, Pamela Fitzsimons Howard, have owned the San Pedro Ranch in South Texas for 15 years, though the land has been in the family since 1932. The property, which sprawls across parts of Dimmit and Maverick counties, supports five different soil orders and 36 different plant communities and has been home to four distinct cultural groups over the years. Fitzsimons and Howard have implemented several wildlife habitat management techniques, including rotational grazing, prescribed burning, brush control, water systems, riparian restoration projects and aerial censuses of deer and quail populations. These practices have improved the native habitat, which has helped sustain diverse wildlife populations and a productive Beefmaster cattle herd.
The ranch is also home to a unique type of soil, called Antosa Bobillo, which is a deep, fine sand that supports grasses that are typically rare in South Texas. Fitzsimons and Howard have used geographic information system technology to map out this soil type’s presence on the property, designating the areas in which it exists “no-disturbance zones” to help preserve this unique plant community.

Texas Border Wall (Rio Grande Valley) - Cattle Rancher

Texas is separated from Mexico by the Rio Grande River. The heavily populated Rio Grande Valley is at the forefront of the planned border wall, a combination of concrete walls, steel fences and virtual fencing designed to stop illegal immigration and smuggling across the river.

In this video playlist, proponents both for and against the wall can make the case as they deliver their arguments.
