Did you know that there are 7 distinct families of Longhorns? The 7 families are Butler, Wild Refuge (WR), Peeler, Marks, Wright, Yates, and Phillips. In the early 1900's 7 families set out to preserve certain characteristics of the Longhorn cattle. The Butler family is best known for horn production and color. As Milby Butler, founder of the Butler Breed, once said "Color is unpredictable. Breed for horns and you'll get color." http://dalgoodlonghorns.com/WhyButler.htm

At our farm you will find mostly Butler traits in our cattle. Between the variety of color and the corkscrew shape of the horns.
