The Holt River Ranch is a working cattle ranch and has been in the same family since 1906. Dr. Glenn Rogers is the fifth generation to own the ranch and is carrying on a tradition of land stewardship. Glenn has received conservation awards for his efforts in range improvements, complimentary to wildlife and livestock habitat. Holt River Ranch is located in the historic Post Oak Bend of the Brazos River. References to Post Oak Bend and the Ranch are found in historical texts and literature. John Graves mentions Post Oak Bend several times in his classic book,” Goodbye to a River”. Mention is also made in Mary Whatley Clarke’s book “Palo Pinto Story”. A lesser known book, “Post-Pioneers” by Juanita Lewis Hindman, devotes much of the book to life on the Holt River Ranch during the 1920′s. At one time numerous Indian tribes lived along the four miles of Brazos River frontage bordering the ranch.
