The Birdwell family legacy in West Texas spans four generations, rooted in the rugged landscapes of cattle and cotton farming. They were pioneers of the plains, raising cattle under vast skies and coaxing cotton from the stubborn soil. Their grit and ingenuity laid the foundation for a family tradition of hard work, stewardship, and deep connection to the land.

​

The second generation navigated the challenges of droughts, market swings, and the ever-changing demands of ranching life. By the third generation, the Birdwell’s had become respected figures in the West Texas ranching community. They embraced innovative techniques, blending time-honored methods with new approaches to improve soil health and grazing efficiency.

​

Today, the fourth generation, led by Trey and CC Birdwell, has transformed this rich heritage into something extraordinary: Five Birds Ranch and Hunting Lodge. Located in the heart of Brownwood Texas, Five Birds Ranch is more than a ranch—it’s a destination where the family’s passion for the land meets a vision for hospitality and conservation. From guided hunts for native game to immersive stays in the lodge, Five Birds reflects the Birdwell’ commitment to preserving the land while sharing its wonders with others.

At Five Birds Ranch and Hunting Lodge, we honor the legacy of those first cattle drives and cotton harvests.  Whether you’re here to hunt, to reconnect with nature, or to experience the warmth of our family’s hospitality, we invite you to become part of our story.
