Pedernales River - The river flows through the north end of the ranch

Welcome to our web site for the River Ranch. Our Ranch policy is directed at breeding quality longhorn cattle for the best combination of horn, confirmation, color, and disposition that we can accomplish. A lot of our breeding program is based on Tip to Tip (TTT) horn measurements and projections. We breed about thirty five cows a year to the bulls listed below. to breed only cows with a 65" minimum TTT or greater. We also keep twenty recipient cows for carrying the embryos from a few of our very best cows.

69.50" TTT on 07-10-10 (3-1/2 years old) , DOB 01-06-07 Stopper is his nick name. His register name is ASOCL Unstopabull Emperor.  Stopper has earned his own pasture at the River Ranch and his calves are just starting to hit the ground. So far, we really like the rich colors he is producing. We like his long full body, superb coloring and flat horn growth.
