Ranch to Table Dinner Series

In 1885, the Farwell brothers from Chicago founded the XIT Ranch of Texas. Texas traded the Farwell brothers 3 million acres in the Texas panhandle in return for building the new Capitol Building in Austin. Today, the XIT is family-owned and operated with locations at the original Rita Blanca division of the XIT west of Channing, Texas, and in Weatherford, Texas, outside of Fort Worth. While their first herd may have been a wild bunch of longhorns, today the XIT breeds and raises high-quality Black Angus and American Wagyu cattle. Core to their cattle program is their commitment to land stewardship. The XIT belief is that we must take care of our land so the land can provide for our livestock.
