We bought our first Texas Longhorn cattle in 2006 and we've been hooked ever since! We have recently moved our herd to Copperopolis and Walnut Grove, California, where the grass is tall and green all winter and tall and golden thru out the summer.
We began with a handful of average cows, a few young calves and a bull. We soon realized that genetics were the key to raising quality Texas Longhorn cattle. With the assistance of Darol Dickinson, we now have a herd of select herd Registered Texas Longhorns. Our main herd sire is currently Kill Kindly out of Over Kill. We also have additional ten or so cows; all bred to several bulls, such as Kill Kindly, Super Fast, Jamakizm and Overkill.
We have attended several Texas Longhorn Sales around the country to learn the market and understand what people are looking for in the breed. Our preference is big bodied and obviously, long horned!
We have now ventured into the grass-fed longhorn beef business. At this point we are establishing a market in northern California, with the aspirations of including other markets as we learn more about the business.
Thank you,
