HARRIS RIVERBEND FARM 264/E5
This outstanding young herd sire prospect was consigned by Harris Riverbend Farm to the 2018 Briggs Ranch, Santa Gertrudis Bull Sale and was purchased by La Campana Ranch. His sire is PISTOL 28/0, one of the hottest herd sires in the breed. His dam is HARCO 1208 and she was sired by high performing HARCO T958. This combines two of the strongest performing bloodlines in the breed and we are expecting great things from 264/E5.

There is a unique area on the ranch known as Las Tienditas (the little stores) where an outcropping of large boulders interrupts the rolling hills of the brush country. This was used as a landmark for travelers in the early days. With its many crevices and small caves it is today the home to an abundance of reptiles, mammals and birds, as well as a variety of cacti and other flora. For pictures of the area go to The Land Gallery

The historic Devil's Water Hole, located on the ranch, was written about by noted Texas historian J. Frank Dobie in his 1924 book Legends of Texas. The latest pictures of the Devil's Water Hole and the surrounding area are also found in the The Land Gallery.
