Blessed Pines

A Family Cattle Ranch with a Pastoral Retreat

Blessed Pines is a working cattle ranch located in the heart of the Piney Woods just outside of Henderson, TX in the Pine Hill community. We’re a family rooted in our Christian faith, and deeply grateful for the blessings God has given our family. We want to use what God has given us to help spread the Gospel, and bless others. In addition to our cattle ranch, we also offer our historic ranch house as a pastoral retreat.

Hereford Cattle


We pride ourselves in raising top quality Line 1 Hereford cattle, utilizing the best genetics from the Cooper, Holden, Debtor, and Pond Hereford bloodlines. We run approximately 50 head of registered cows, with a strong focus on maternal traits. If you are interested in adding the strong performance of Line 1 Herefords into your herd, we are an excellent resource.

F1 Black Baldy Cattle


Behind the Line 1 Hereford cattle, we feel the F1 Black Baldy is a great mix of the Hereford breed, and the Angus breed. Blessed Pines’ Baldy steers top our local market each year. The baldy heifers we offer for sale via private treaty should do a great job and be a strong addition to any herd, and raise strong healthy calves for many years.

If you’re looking to add solid production to your ranch, Blessed Pines’ Black Baldy steers or heifers are an excellent choice.

Our Pastoral Retreat

Matt grew up the son of Dr. Troy A. Brooks, Jr, and his mother Paula. Both of Matt’s parents were Godly role models. Matt witnessed and felt first-hand the spiritual, mental, and financial strains that pastors and their families’ encounter. A pastor’s work goes well beyond preaching on Sunday morning. Pastors are “on call” to serve those that need them for their best times and their worst times. It is very difficult for a pastor to take any down-time to rest. Our vision for Blessed Pines Ranch is to provide a peaceful country retreat where pastors can rest, recharge, and have personal revival. As a ministry for hardworking pastors, Blessed Pines offers a peaceful ranch house where pastors can find rest without the financial burden of a typical getaway.
