PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Continuing the legacy.

In 1885, the Farwell brothers from Chicago founded the XIT Ranch of Texas. Texas traded the Farwell brothers 3 million acres in the panhandle in return for building the new Capitol Building in Austin.

Today, our family owned and operated ranches are located in the original Rita Blanca division of the XIT west of Channing, TX and in Southern Colorado next to the Spanish Peaks.

We believe it’s our collective responsibility to tend to the land, maintain its beauty, and ensure its health for future generations. We promise to do right by the land and the animals.

Recipes

We care about where our food comes from, and we want to share it with everyone.” – Chef Abby Knowles

Dedicated to land stewardship and production of the highest quality cattle and ranch horses.

Once considered the largest cattle ranch in the world, the cattle division remains a vital component of XIT ranch operations. Today our Black Angus and American Wagyu cattle are raised on 100% grass in the Texas Panhandle and in Southern Colorado.

Flavored with XIT heritage.

These recipes deserve to be kept on the family table for generations to come. Chef Abby Knowles makes it her first priority to source ingredients from ranches and farms raising and growing with environmental ethics at the forefront. She believes that these ingredients are always the very best and need little alteration, only enhancement in the kitchen.
