Circle of Seven Longhorns
Registered Longhorn Ranch near Houston, Texas
In October 2018, our family visited a reputable Texas longhorn breeder, Rocking O Longhorns in Lockhart, Texas. One of Rocking O Longhorn's owners, Ross Ohlendorf, was very helpful as I asked him every longhorn question imaginable. After much deliberation, my husband and I decided to purchase 2 cows, 4 heifers and a young bull. Hence, Circle of Seven Longhorns was formed!
Though my husband and I own the longhorns, everyone who knows us, knows that the longhorns are mine! And I could not be happier with what our longhorns have brought to our ranch home and to our ranch business. We also own an on-site wedding venue, and our longhorns have been quite the draw to our ranch. We have had visitors from all over the world delighted to meet these majestic animals. And they soon learn, I love talking about them!
We love our longhorns for their unique color, various horn types, resilience, mothering instinct and unique personalities. We have longhorns of almost all colors and horn-types. Overall health, fertility, mothering ability, docility and beauty play a key factor in our selection process in our breeding herd.
In 2023, we have learned the value and tastefulness of longhorn beef. though it was a difficult step, I rather consume heart healthy beef that I know lived a good, clean life. And though our beef customers base is very small, we are honored to provide such a heart-healthy option to them.
We maintain a small herd between 20 to 30 head. Our herd is primarily grass-fed. We offer hay whenever needed, we only cube occasionally, and we vaccinate twice a year. So, in the pictures you see, this is how our longhorns look in pasture condition.
Our cows are exposed to a bull year-round. Our current herd sire is DB Chard Fiddler (Chard Iron x Fiddle Sticks).
We wean our calves around 7 months.
Occasionally I will post a longhorn for sale. If you see one you like, feel free to call me or text me at 713-677-3560. We sell by private treaty.
We thank our numerous customers for believing in our program, and we hope our longhorns make you as happy as they have us.
