A little over 54 years ago Linda and I started our little Texas Longhorn cattle herd. There were no magazines, no copy
machines, no fax, no brochures, only one sale a year, and 30 years to wait on internet. We talked to foundation producers Graves Peeler, Happy Shahan, Charles Schreiner III, Jack Phillips, Henry Butler, Chico Wright, Fayette Yates, Travis Marks and the early Texas Longhorn inspector Garnett Brooks. To our surprise most did not agree on what a Texas Longhorn should look like, which made things more confusing to decipher for an entry lever producer.

Now after 54 years, with massive amounts of information everywhere, many entry level producers make sizable purchases with no more information than a sale catalog and 30 words about each animal. Good detailed information is still hard to find.

To cut to the chase faster, Dickinson Cattle Company (DCC) has collected and made available, on line, the best of many years of educational articles; the how-to info, and how-not-to. To answer the first and important questions of the beginning producer HOW TO START A TEXAS LONGHORN HERD. There are over 400 articles on the DCC site.
