What to keep for Kendall County
Whether or not Kendall County asks for a report this year, keep dated proof that you carried out at least three of the seven wildlife management practices in your plan:
- A log of each activity: the date, what you did, where and how much
- Dated photos of the work (feeders, water, brush piles, cleared brush)
- Receipts and invoices for feed, seed, materials and contractors
- Census sheets with dates, routes and numbers seen
Read our plain-English guide to the annual report (PWD-888) for the full 3-of-7 rule, or see deadlines for other counties.
Ag valuation in Kendall County
Running cattle, cutting hay or farming instead of managing for wildlife? These are the Kendall Appraisal District’s published degree-of-intensity standards for the 1-d-1 agricultural valuation.
A typical cow/calf operation is 2 breeding cows on 10 acres; stockers need 3 calves on 10 acres, sheep 6 ewes and 1 ram, goats 6 does and 1 buck, horses 3 mares, each on at least 10 acres. Stocking rates: improved grass 1 AU per 5 acres; native range 1 AU per 10, 25, 35 or 50 acres depending on brush and terrain. Grazing land must be fully fenced.
| Minimum acres | 10 acres (grazing) |
|---|---|
| Minimum animals | 2 animal units |
| Improved pasture | 5 acres per animal unit |
| Native pasture | 10–50 acres per animal unit |
| Hay | Hay (Klein, Coastal, hybrid sorghum or alfalfa) must be grazed or baled for sale, with weed and brush control evident. |
| Crops and orchards | Orchards, vineyards and truck farms need at least 3 acres; row-crop minimums depend on soil and terrain. |
| Beekeeping | 5–20 acres with at least 6 commercial-type hives, water and beekeeping equipment. |
| History and filing | Land must have been in ag use 5 of the past 7 years and qualify on January 1. Overgrazing or land abuse can lead to removal. |

An animal unit is one cow (or cow-calf pair); a horse counts as one, and about five goats or sheep make one, though some districts count them differently. See what Texas requires for ag valuation. Your appraisal district has the final say, so call them if anything here doesn’t match your letter.
