Augustus Ranch is a brand with a rich legacy that dates back to 1890, when August Kaspar, a Texas native and son of a Swiss missionary, settled in Gonzales county. Starting as a ranch hand, August eventually acquired 100 acres of his own near Shiner, Texas. The brand's story unfolds with the rise of barbed wire fencing and August's ingenuity in repurposing non-barbed slick wire to create hay and corn shuck baskets.

By 1898, August had built a thriving business that has been passed down through five generations. Today, his great grandson, Dennis Kaspar, and Dennis Chase Kaspar continue the family's passion for ranching and agriculture. Augustus Ranch distinguishes itself by being Your Personal Rancher®.
