The ranch was established by Jim and Barbara Hix in February 2007. We bought our first Texas Longhorn cattle in 2006 and we've been hooked ever since! The ranch is located 25 miles northwest of beautiful Prescott, Arizona. We only have 120 acres of land, so our herd must remain somewhat small.
We began with a handful of average cows, a few young calves and a bull. We soon realized that genetics were the key to raising quality Texas Longhorn cattle. With the assistance of Darol Dickinson, we now have a herd of select herd Registered Texas Longhorns. Our main herd sire is currently Kill Kindly out of Over Kill. We also have additional ten or so cows; all bred to several bulls, such as Kill Kindly, Super Fast, Jamakizm and Overkill.
We have attended several Texas Longhorn Sales around the country to learn the market and understand what people are looking for in the breed. Our preference is big bodied and obviously, long horned!
We have now ventured into the grass-fed longhorn beef business. At this point we are selling only in Arizona, with the aspirations of including other markets as we learn more about the business.
Thank you,
Jim Hix
