We are a Christian family cattle ranch located in the beautiful state of Texas. Our passion lies in raising high-quality beef and nurturing our Christian values, while also raising our amazing kids.

A question we get all the time is where did you come up with that name? Anyone who has ever tried to ranch in the desert can relate, Abel has always said it is a hardscrabble life out here. If you look in the dictionary you will see hardscrabble defined as follows:

hard·scrab·ble
adjective
involving hard work and struggle

We put our hearts and souls in to what we do, even if it is a hardscrabble life it is well worth it and God is so good!

When it comes to telling our story, we believe in being genuine and true to ourselves. We don't need fancy words or corporate jargon. We want our website to reflect our authentic selves, just like our ranching values do.

So, take a moment to explore our website and get to know us better. We have a whole lot of love & faith for our cattle, land, and our family.
