Facilities
The 4M Ranch is owned and operated by Jim and Heidie Maikranz, and is located outside of Rochelle, Texas in McCulloch County. Established in 1993, with the purchase of a little over one thousand acres in the Heart of the Texas Hill Country, the 4M Ranch land contains rolling hills and mineral-filled bottom lands.
