Welcome

The Longhorn breed's heritage as the foundation of the early American cattle industry is indisputable. Over 500 years ago, these cattle, with their rugged and hardy characteristics, survived and prospered in conditions throughout the southwest where other breeds could not. Only a little more than 100 years ago, millions of Longhorn cattle were trailed north to fatten on more lush mid-western pastures or directly to cattle processors for the beef-hungry East. Eventually as fences were erected and pastures improved, the breed was replaced with much more productive types that met the growing beef market demands. Fortunately in the late 1920’s, with initiatives under the Federal government and the national forest services, and other early ranchers recognizing their value, the Longhorn’s journey of preservation and re-growth began. Many breeders now privately raise genuine longhorn cattle. All are dedicated to assuring the continuation of the purity of the breed and preserving this unique animal for posterity. We at the EBL Ranch are proud to consider ourselves among them.
