We are pretty excited about the prospect SL Big Star a son of HR Awesome Reb x Garlands Big Tex http://www.smithlonghorns.com/Default.aspx?AnimalID=139938&Name=SLBigStar

01/11/2024

HR Awesome Reb has proven to be one of the hottest young females in our industry with an amazing early production career. We didn't showcase all of her offspring but they are fantastic. They have everything we are looking for in a modern-day Texas Longhorn. We have ET calves on the way as well as a dynamite-coming two-year-old in the pasture as well as a bull calf that is a monster for his age sired by Garland's Big Tex. A truly extraordinary female.

Look at all of the genetic greatness combined in this outstanding young female. As we develop our breeding program strong maternal power and characteristics are the first thing that we look at. We purchased her and her dam at the 2022 Legends Sale for 18K. Her dam is right at 80" TTT at 3.5 years of age. Fantastic young female that has an incredible future in front of her. This heifer sells on Saturday at the Longhorn Opportunities Spotlight Sale in Locus Grove, Oklahoma. If you would like to place bids go to www.herdsmanacutions.com to place your bids today.
Side note: Last week we had some sever winter weather come through and were not able to get our TB test read by the vet. Our animals will have the TB test re-done in about 30 days. These females that we are offering will be offered for sale and we can work out shipping arrangments in the future. If you have any questions regarding this please give Chad or Justin a call.
Thank you, and hope to see you there on Friday.

SL Miss Topper is lot 26 in the upcoming Longhorn Opportunities Spotlight Sale. Many will see a female that doesn't have much horn, but if you look into this family they are not going to have the early horn. If you look at the second photo it is a gentic full sister owned by Silver T Longhorns "Allens 291/9". This family is bred for twist and a lot of it. We are retaining another full sister and she is working on her 3rd twist and has produced a 5-year-old steer that is already at 100" TTT and putting on a massive amount of horn every year. If you remember Phenomenal Dorthy that sold for 100K she is also a daughter of Doherty 6, Allens 83 sold for 68K and she is the grand dam to Rex's 83rd Birthday is right at 90" TTT as a 5-year-old that sold at the EOT Dispersal Sale this year.

ALLENS DOHERTY 9/06 CF11
DOUBLE TEX x RANGER'S MONIES

For those of you who are new breeders the CF at the end of a name stands for Colonial Family ( a clone). We picked up Doherty from the Allen Ranch dispersal sale in 2016. We were able to pull embryos from her before she had to be put down.
The Doherty 6 line of cattle is known for producing twist. You can see it here in the daughters of our clone. The original and several of the clones have produced many large horned daughters and some have surpassed 90" TTT with the hard twist.
Mike Davis, Red McCombs, MonMel Longhorns, G and G Longhorns, Bentwood Ranch, and Silver T to name a few have utilized this family. It is not always about the longest horns the characteristics they bring to the table and preserving the past.

03/08/2023

This old girl has passed on but her Legacy lives on through her descendants. We owned her with Richard Filip of Bentwood Ranch and were able to IVF her to Jammin Tex and have a few embryos on ice we will be placing this spring. Jammin does a wonderful job of adding size and color to white-based females.
Very excited to get those calves on the ground.

Hank Williams Jr. wrote Family Tradition. Well, this family is awesome. Tejas Star over WS Star Bright has worked like clockwork. You all know her daughters as household names. We did an IVF to Tejas Star and produced SL The Duke and as a yearling sold half interest in him to Rocky Mt. Longhorns. He is on track to be almost 70" TTT at 24 months with an amazing frame and meat on him. Do your homework when planning your matings for a breeding season. Big on Big doesn't almost make bigger. Look at the total package and find the matings that are a sure thing. No need to throw darts at the wall.

02/07/2023

We are always making strides in making our program better. We utilized the best females we can get our hands on as a tool to make that happen. BL Pretty Woman was a high 80's daughter of Coach and Working Woman. She produced some fancy daughters that have graced some elite programs over the years. We did an IVF her with WS Jamakizm and the two heifers shown here are doing very well for their age. We look forward to AI'ing them this spring to keep this line of cattle moving forward in our program.

HR Awesome Reb. Why do you pay that much for a longhorn? Take a look at some of her offspring below. They are perfect. This cow is going to go down in history as one of the greats. It is not about spending money. It is about the investment in greatness.
