Metheglin Creek Ranch

Metheglin Creek Ranch Metheglin Creek Ranch is a small family owned cattle and livestock ranch located in Coyell County, Central Texas. We produce Brangus beef and more.

The Metheglin Creek Ranch is owned and operated by the Owens family. About the name....

Metheglin Creek rises in eastern Coryell County (at 31°18' N, 97°32' W) and runs southeast for eight miles to its mouth (at 31°13' N, 97°30' W) on Belton Lake, twelve miles northwest of Temple in northern Bell County. The local terrain is generally rolling prairie with local steep slopes; it is surfaced by cla

y loams that support oak, juniper, and grasses. There are two stories of how the stream got its name. The first is that the wife of Horatio Morrison, an early settler who called his wife "Honey," fell into the creek. When the event was talked about later, someone who disliked a local ban on strong drink remarked that at least there would now be plenty of metheglin (mead). The second version is that Morrison was called "Honey" by his wife. He made and sold metheglin, but made and drank whiskey. One day when he went to the creek to get water for his wife, he lost his balance and fell in. A passerby saw him and suggested "Metheglin" as the name for the creek.

Our latest project, the portable solar array 5 solar panels on a custom-built trailer with built-in cooling fans lighting and a 1.5 kilowatt inverter, grid-tied of course. This little beauty will let us power remote power stations such as Wells and when not use for that purpose it will reduce our electric bill between 20 to $50 each month.
