[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 299280, member: 9"] Well, "my" preference for Longhorn breeders are those that have excellent color, horn length, and body (not necessarily in that order) and a well-maintained facility. The TLBAA [i]Trails[/i] and the ITLA [i]Drover[/i] have many breeders with lots of photos in their regular publications. One source for Longhorn listings and ranch listings is [url=http://www.longhornsalepen.com]http://www.longhornsalepen.com[/url] I think there are around 75 ranches on their site with lots of photos. I also like to see a ranch that has a good website. And, a site with photos not only of their Longhorns but of their infrastructure. This will tell me how well their facility is structured and maintained (which "possibility" implies where their priorities are...??). Finally, as in ANY advertising, flashy full color large advs, do not [i]necessarily[/i] mean "the best"--it merely means they are spending more money on advs. Some high quality breeders have small advs., and/or don't advertise in association journals with large ads. It's always "buyer beware" and know about the quality of stock you are looking for and what a reasonable price is for a given animal you want to buy. If it is all possible, it is a good thing to visit a ranch to see the animals and facility in person. [/list][/list] [/QUOTE]
