D-H Yarrow, selling at the 2010 Butler Invitational Sale
An outstanding Butler cow with great horns, color,
conformation, and disposition (born 2005).
She is standing among her namesake yarrow wildflowers,
which look like the pattern on her back.
The wildflowers are great this year after our El Niño winter!
We specialize in studying and promoting
the genetic traits that make Texas Longhorn cattle unique, interesting,
and valuable
As an example of Texas Longhorn genetics, consider
the inheritance of coat color. Texas Longhorns are known to be highly
variable in color, and in the words of J. Frank Dobie they are “more
varied than the colors of the rainbow.” But actually, all
the colors of Texas Longhorns (and of virtually all mammals) are
formed from various combinations of just two pigments: eumelanin
(black) and phaeomelanin (red). More>>
E-mail or call us for information about purchasing
and raising your own Texas Longhorn cattle, or check out our prices on mature cows, calves,heifers, steers, or herd sire prospects. Texas Longhorns do well in almost any climate, and are relatively
free of problems with disease or calving difficulty. They are striking
and beautiful animals, and can even be trained for riding!
