SASHS was created in October 2018 to promote awareness of the forgotten stockyard and cattle industry in San Antonio, Texas, a city associated with the American cowboy and the cattle drives that helped build their impressive reputation. SASHS will honor this legacy and their contributions to the formation of San Antonio as a major tourist destination through story-telling and fundraising for local high school FFA (Future Farmers of America and 4-H organizations. These efforts include providing shared workspace to raise show animals, and raising and awarding college scholarships.


Bobby is a third generation Texan and retired San Antonio commercial real estate agent, owning, and operating Acosta Properties since 2006. His passion for sharing the history of the stockyard and cattle industry was the catalyst for launching SASHS. He recently launched Texas Farmhouse Creations to highlight his unique handcrafted woodwork which blends traditional techniques with modern design, using mostly Texas mesquite wood. His woodwork includes furniture and home décor and can be purchased through this website with 10% of profits from sales going to support efforts of SASHS. Bobby has been married to his wife Andrea for 24 years, and together are dog parents to “Charro”, their energetic, boxer-husky mix!
