Why Longhorn Cattle?

My love of cattle

My love of cattle began as early back as I can remember.  Growing up on ranches was a way of life in those days.  Some my fondest memories was sharing a meal with cowboys and my family.  Seems like we always had extra mouths to feed and it was a great time for a kid to get to chat with like-minded individuals and to share my mom's awesome southern cooking. In today's society, I feel that these cherish family meals gathered around the kitchen table are needed more. Reconnecting, showing support for one another and sharing a nourishing meal!

It wasn't until I was nearing retirement as a registered nurse when I reluctantly decided, I needed to eat better ensuring better health. I like many others opted for the quick meals that were high in all the things we don't need! I had developed some health issues and needed to take better care of myself. That's when my adventure with Longhorns began. Combining the need for better nutrition, love of the outdoors and my enthusiasm of such an iconic breed of cattle began in the fall of 2016. 

I chose Longhorns for their hardiness, disease resistance, ease of calving, and strong mothering instincts. Longhorns are survivalists as much as the first families in the 1500's after Christopher Columbus, who step foot on this great land we now call the United States of America. (I have traced our family roots back to those days btw). Literally, Longhorn cattle are the result of nature, with the strongest surviving and adapting without humans. Nomadic herds of Longhorns grazing along side the buffalo when grass was as far as someone could see. I am proud of the legacy the Longhorn stands for and the way of life it represents!  

Designed by nature, the Longhorn is naturally low in saturated fat and calories. My cattle are grass fed and grass-finished as nature intended. The cattle are also supplemented with feeds approved by the American Grass Fed Association during inclement weather. I take the responsibility seriously to humanely raise and love these iconic majestic animals under my care!!
