Our Herd
We believe Texas Longhorns are a great historical resource, offering a surviving
link to the past as the first cattle to set foot in North America. Into the
twentieth century, this historically significant breed faced extinction as
ranchers cross-bred them with less hardy breeds from Europe.
Today, Candy Mountain Ranches is working to preserve the posterity of the breed
by raising full-blood Texas Longhorns. Our herd has been carefully selected from
high-quality sources including historical Texas breeding ranches, state-managed
registered herds, and our own breeding program.
Our longhorns also are CTLR-registered or are descendants of CTLR longhorns and
awaiting registration after age 2. Through the CTLR visual inspection and
blood-type analysis, you can be assured that the Candy Mountain longhorns are
some of the purest around.
We invite you to look over some featured members of our herd as well as our
cattle for sale. If you see any animal that would compliment your breeding
program, please contact us.
