About the K‑9 Ranch – London, Texas

K‑9 Ranch, located in the heart of Menard County near London, Texas, has been under its current ownership since 2006. The property is held and operated through K‑9 Ranch LLC, which manages the land, improvements, and long‑term stewardship of the ranch. Since acquisition, the owners have focused on maintaining the natural character of the land while developing it into a productive, multi‑use ranching and wildlife property.

To support business operations, the ranch is leased to K‑9 Ranch Enterprises LLC, which has engaged in several complementary ventures over the years. These include leasing hunting opportunities for White‑tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey, as well as cattle ranching consistent with regional practices. The ranch’s hunting program has attracted guests interested in fair‑chase opportunities in a natural Hill Country setting, while cattle operations have contributed to the sustainable use of the property’s pastures and range land.

The ranch operates under a Wildlife Management exemption, which guides its land‑stewardship strategy. Management activities include providing supplemental feed and water, conducting brush and noxious‑weed control, and improving pasture and range land health through mechanical and animal‑driven soil disturbance. The owners have invested in seeding native grasses, planting native and mast‑producing trees, and implementing predator‑control measures to support a balanced ecosystem. These efforts have enhanced habitat quality and contributed to the long‑term health of native wildlife populations.

K‑9 Ranch is home to a wide variety of native species, many of which are readily observed throughout the property. White‑tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, quail, songbirds, and numerous small mammals are common. The ranch also experiences occasional visits from exotic species, including Aoudad sheep, Sika deer, and Blackbuck antelope. Feral hogs and coyotes are a persistent presence, despite ongoing trapping and hunting efforts to control their numbers. Although Javelinas are not common in this part of Texas, they have been sighted on the ranch from time to time.

Today, K‑9 Ranch continues to operate as a working example of responsible land management, blending wildlife conservation, hunting, and cattle operations in a way that preserves the natural beauty and ecological integrity of the Texas Hill Country.
