[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 422186, member: 9"] For current and/or prospective Longhorn people, there are some excellent lists easily obtainable of Longhorn breeders around the country. In particular, the ITLA (International Texas Longhorn Association) [url=http://www.itla.com]http://www.itla.com[/url] has an online list of members/breeders that you can view and/or print out by State. I do not think that TLBAA (Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America) has that option and/or service to those who inquire (as well as their current members). Also, another good source of breeders, including some mini webpages as well as links to their websites, location, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. can be found on [url=http://www.longhornsalepen.com]http://www.longhornsalepen.com[/url] The above sources are good for the inquirer to view all different types of Longhorns that are being produced and marketed in the USA. I think one "secret" to getting involved in Longhorns is to view as many different types as you can and not be "brainwashed" into think any one bloodline, phenotype, color pattern, show record, etc., etc. is the "final word" in the Longhorn industry. JMO ;-) A final caveat: Full color, full page advertisements of cattle in the trade association journals do not necessarily reflect the "best" producers, etc., ... it merely reflects those who have big bucks to afford these impressive advertisements. Some of the "best" breeders in the industry rarely, if ever, advertise...their business is acheived via reputation and word-of-mouth advertising... Of course this tactic is also well represented in all forms of business enterprises. [/QUOTE]
