Our Goal
Our Goal is to proved all grassfed water buffalo and goat meat without the use of hormones and antibiotics to create a tasty and lean meat to the health conscious consumer. It is also our goal to breed and develop animals that are hardy and parasite resistant to the Texas Gulf Coast.
We were founded in 2004 by Jim and Diane Matthes. We named our ranch the Wild Rose due to the abundance of Rose hedge that grows in abundance in this area. Jim has been raising livestock for meat production for over thirty years. In 2004 we purchased 100 acres in Blessing, TX and started stocking it with water buffalo.
Both Jim and Diane are members of the American Water Buffalo Association and and the National Pygmy Goat Association.
