Cattle Country 120 acre Ranch
We absolutely had a blast feeding the black angus cows and Baby Girl, the donkey. We bought cattle treats from Tractor Supply locally and cold long stem carrots from the local Walmart. Our family also raised cows, so we were familiar with them and hand fed a few. The cows came every morning around 9 am and by day four, they were gathered “mooing”for us to come outside. (smart cows). The big bull would hang back and observed. Castroville is a small town gem. We recommend Blu Lacy Smokehouse for the best bbq and sides and don’t forget your bucket of beers from the bar. The local Mexican restaurant was fantastic too, El Portal de Jalisco. The Red Rooster which is a drive thru party store where you can also get frozen daiquiris and margaritas (heavy on the liquor-beware😳) There is a Dairy Queen, McDonald’s and a Pizza place, also a Dollar Tree plus everything you would want in San Antonio. We visited in April, low 70’s, and enjoyed The Fiesta in San Antonio. We visited The Alamo twice and recommend the city parking for $10, closer lots were $25-30 for parking. So much to see and do, but the quietness of the Ranch was the downtime that we needed at the end of a busy day. The narrated boat ride in downtown San Antonio was a lot of fun and neat to see the city from a different viewpoint. The gate lock can be difficult to see at night. I would recommend having a bright light available.
We visited family and enjoyed our stay,
