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.

Silver Star Ranch is a member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association.  We are located in Celina, Texas just 50 miles north of Dallas, Texas. We are a breeder of Texas Miniature Longhorns. All of our Texas Miniature Longhorns are registered with the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association (TLBAA). Longhorns that are registered insure the purity of the breed,and, that cross breeding with other cattle has not occurred along the blood line. The purpose of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association is to protect the unique heritage of the Texas Longhorn, to preserve the purity of the breed and to promote Texas Longhorns as a distinct breed. So when you are considering buying Miniature Texas Longhorns make sure they are registered with TLBAA to insure a pure bred, prior to purchasing.

Silver Star Ranch Miniature Longhorns come from some of John Fore’s stock as well as from the WR and Butler breed. John Fore started working on developing a herd of very small Longhorns 16 years ago with Artificial Insemination (A.I.) and embryo transfer. Today, through natural breeding from his stock, there is a breed of Texas Miniature Longhorns. Miniature Longhorns are 42” or less at the hook at 3 years of age. Our Miniature Longhorns are all 42” or less with most being under 38” to 40”. Some of our latest heifers are very tiny, weighing in at 20lbs at birth and only 19” tall with wonderful colors.

2. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept...
3. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/ pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
4. Yeah.  We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk.  You really want sushi and caviar?  It's available at the corner bait shop.
5. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season.  It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
