Epperson Ranches is owned and operated by William Epperson, a descendant of pioneer Edwards County ranchers. His family began free-range ranching here in the early 1880's, then homesteading and purchasing land which is still family owned and operated well over 100 years later. William's wife, Marcy, is also a descendant of very early ranching settlers to this area. Her family first arrived by ox-drawn wagon in the late 1870's when Indian raids were still taking place, and followed much of the same type of homesteading as did William's family.

Terrain on the different ranches varies from steep, rocky inclines to gently rolling flatlands on top of the Edwards Plateau. As the name Rocksprings implies, rocks are abundant-unfortunately, we don't have any of the springs! Average annual rainfall to the area is about 22 inches, which, of course, can vary greatly from year to year. As a result of these changes, we constantly strive to maintain the land and the animals in the best possible manner.
