The iconic Falfurrias Butter sign, visible from Highway 285, is an artifact of Brooks County’s past. Falfurrias Butter originated in the county thanks to Ed Lassater’s 1909 purchase of one of the largest herd of Jersey cattle in the country. While the creamery now houses the Falfurrias newspaper, the butter is still made in Texas. You can thank the town’s iconic export for its high school mascot: a Jersey Cow.
