Wide-open Ozark cattle range where the Current River is born

Texas County offers some of the most expansive land in the Missouri Ozarks, a broad tableland of timber and open range where the Big Piney and the headwaters of the Current River take shape. The country runs to oak-hickory and shortleaf pine over thin, rocky ground that has long favored cattle and hay over row crop. For buyers, that means room to run stock, put up forage, and hold big timbered blocks for deer and turkey. Spring-fed branches keep the creeks cold and clear, and Mark Twain National Forest borders many tracts. Whether the goal is a working cattle ranch, a timber investment, or a deep-woods hunting retreat, this is dependable, honest Ozark ground.
