Texas Longhorn stock slowly dwindled, until 1927 when the breed was saved by enthusiasts from the U.S. Forest Service, who collected a small herd of stock to breed on a refuge in...OKLAHOMA!

It's February, the month of love. We chose to celebrate this Valentine's by going to Fort Worth, Texas for the weekend - to go to...the Hired Hand Huddle! Huh? Hearts, Hugs, HH Huddle?! Doesn't sound like a romantic time? Perhaps for some, this would seem a bit odd, however, it was the perfect opportunity to FINALLY get our website live and to share our Love of Longhorns! We met some other breeders, made some new friends, shared some great food and we even managed to two-stepped down the old brick street in front of the famous and historic Stockyards! It was a great Valentine's get-away!
Thanks to Molly and Jaymie from Hired Hand for the fun event and for exposing my under-developed knowledge of TV game shows! The HH Huddle gave us the tools to get the website up and runnin'! While we still have content and pictures to add, we're thrilled to have a great beginning to be able to show off our upcoming spring babies - the first calves for us out of Super Blue Boy! We'd also like to take this opportunity to say, "Thanks" to Kathy Kittler of Kittler Land & Cattle for selling this wonderful bull to us. Check out his pedigree and progeny and you'll see why we're so excited to have him as our Herd Sire! 
Be sure and check back to keep up with The T&M Times, and to see the new babies as they hit the ground. Also, if you're interested in showcasing your Longhorns on the web, please check out Hired Hand's services, then give Molly or Jaymie a call!
