BADGER CREEK LONGHORNS There is a sheltered mountain valley in central Wyoming where fragrant wildflowers stir gently in spring breezes. A place that was the ancestral hunting ground of Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe. A place where deer, elk and antelope still graze in lush meadows while bear, mountain lions and bobcats move like shadows in the rimrocks and pines. A place that is a sanctuary for bald and golden eagles, coyotes, fox, raccoons, mink, beavers and badgers. A place rich in history where the Emigrant and Oregon Trail cross. A place where you may still find a tee-pee ring, an arrowhead or even a dream. There is a place with spectacular views of the Deer Creek Range and located a short horse back ride from the mighty North Platte River. A magical place with deep dark pools full of brown and rainbow trout. A place where log cabins were built with hand-peeled logs, scribed and chinked by leathery hands snuggle in the shade of big cottonwood trees and smoke curls from the stone fireplaces--where horses and longhorn cattle contently graze in the pasture.
In this valley there is a herd of longhorns, the finest longhorn cattle available anywhere. Colorful - long horned cattle, rugged enough to withstand the scorching summer sun and the howling winter winds. Healthy cattle, cattle that know how to survive the local predators. Cattle physically and mentally tough enough to get to the top of the rocky mountain slopes to avoid the pesky summer flies.
Starting with seed stock from famed longhorn breeder Owen McGill, this place holds the very best bloodlines available in longhorn cattle genetics. Names like Bold Ruler, Tango, Classic, Tabasco, Monarch, Creekmore, Guadalahara, Rawhide and Roundup fill the pedigree pages like the drifting snow fills a cattle guard on a frigid January day.
