Ranch Progress Report — The Last 6 Months

One of our longtime followers mentioned this weekend that they missed our old farm progress updates, so here's a look at what we've been building behind the scenes at Dos Lobos Ranch.

Over the last six months we've:

  • Sold out all 2026 Hog Shares
  • Launched our first Roaster Pig Workshop
  • Created two new newsletters:
    • VIP Foodie Rebel
    • Livestock Insider
  • Expanded our website with new educational pages covering:
    • Hog Shares
    • Buying Local Meat
    • Freezer Space Planning
    • Regenerative Agriculture
    • Pricing Transparency
    • Livestock & Breeding Education
  • Improved our local SEO so more North Texas families can find pasture-raised food directly from local farms like ours and others in Wise County
  • Launched the Aussie Posse brand ambassadors:
    • Shiney
    • Whiskey
    • Kazi
    • Baller
  • Added new customer communication systems including newsletters and automations
  • Continued improving our grazing, livestock, and soil-building programs

But ranch life isn't just websites and projects...Here's what happened on the ground:

  • 697 pounds of meat sold
  • 6 farmers markets attended
  • 38 piglets born
  • 1 calf born
  • 9 goat kids born
  • 62 turkey poults hatched
  • 104 new families fed
  • 113 orders filledAnd...
  • 1 very sweet livestock intern helping out with big chores (thank you, Jill!)

Most of those numbers represent something much bigger than a sale.

They represent families choosing local food, supporting regenerative agriculture, and helping a small family farm continue to grow.

Every order, every workshop attendee, every newsletter subscriber, every social media share, and every conversation at a farmers market helps move this ranch forward.

We're grateful you're here for the journey.

Here's to the next six months. (And I promise to do these at least quarterly from now on... it's good to see what we've accomplished written down).
