What Is The Horn Showcase?

If you aren’t a Longhorn cattle enthusiast, you might not know.

The 2016 Horn showcase  now in the history books.

It is a national (international, actually) event that features a competition directly related to HORN.  To say it is a big deal is something of an understatement.  This year, it was particularly special to me.

Our cow, Redman5s Legacy was featured in a new event, EMBRYO ALLEY.a

Redman’s Legacy placed 2nd in her class for TTT (84.6875″), 2nd for Twisty Horn (107″), 2nd for Composite Horn (208.1875″) and 3rd for Total Horn (99.75″)  She turned a lot of heads.  As a 15 1/2 year old cow, she is producing embryos for our ranch embryonic program.  Her mating with Top Hand is expected to result in full bodied, colorful calves with long twisty horns. top-hand-0Another feature of the Horn Showcase is the sale.  Again this year, there was an excellent selection of heifers and bred cows for sale, as well as an auctioned embryo calf.  Prices were steady to strong, with little or no reflection of the low prices of commercial cattle.  Texas Longhorn Cattle are in a class by themselves.

This year, a powerful young heifer offered by the Lone Star Ranch will find her way to a new home on our South Dakota ranch. a    I captured a few videos and still photos from the Horn Showcase this year.  If you would like to view them, they can be found on my personal facebook page.

It’s also a great place to meet old friends and make some wonderful new ones.  More about that later….

Maybe you should plan to join us next year!
