Silver Star Ranch

We founded Silver Star Ranch in 2003 with our sights set to raise Texas Longhorns. Due to the Ranch's size, and through years of investigations and reviews, we decided to raise miniature cattle. Our search for the Texas Miniature Longhorn Breed allowed us to select from some of the best breeders in the USA to create what we think is the best of the breed. Utilizing these magnificent animals as our main herd stock, we look forward to creating some of the most distinguished Bulls and Cows of the Texas Miniature Longhorns in the USA! Check out our Blood Lines.

"Why Miniature Longhorns?"  Mini Longhorns are easy to care for, withstand extreme temperatures and conditions and are known for their ease of birthing compared to other types of cattle. (See History – about the Breed).

Miniature Longhorns (for production) produce leaner meat and more meat per pound. For a producer with small acreage they are ideal as they eat less and their waste is less. Mini Longhorns are also bred for sale and use in Junior Rodeos and Junior Future Farmers of America (FFA). As showcase pets on your property, their size is ideal and they are not intimidating as are their larger counterparts. As showcase cattle on your land, in addition to making a smaller foot print, eat less, and waste less, they become your pasture pet.

Cowboy rules

1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight:  It's called a 'gravel road'.  I drive a pickup truck because I want to.  No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus.  Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle.  That's why they smell like cattle.  They smell like money to us.  Get over it.  Don't like it?  I-10, I-40, I-70 and I-80 go east and west, I-17, I-15, I-25 and I-35 goe north and south. Pick one and go.
