"Gallery of Horns"
How does your bull measure up?
The "Gallery of Horns" has been developed as reference to long horned cattle. For those of you who are veterans to those of you who are just checking out the longhorn business, here is a quick and easy way to see who is who and what is what. While some bulls are not "proven" bulls they have proven themselves to have long horns! Nearly every breeder has their own preference in what they believe a good bull should look like. Although most would say if you have to look at one, it might as well have long horns! It took hundreds of hours of phone calls, hundreds of emails, and dozens of ranch tours to be able to bring this page to you. Many of these bulls are not "officially measured" however most of the top bulls have been. For many of the others they have been witnessed by several other breeders (which can qualify as "officially measured"). In a quest to obtain accurate information we have gone out to ranches to assist measuring of these bulls. We are serious about longhorns and long horns! If you have a bull that "measures up" let us know (Arrowhead Cattle Company) and he can be added for everyone to see.
In 2003 there was less than 10 bulls with over 70" tip to tip. By the end of 2004 there was 13 bulls with over 70" tip to tip. The 2005 Horn Showcase would find the 20th bull with over 70". We estimated by the end of 2006 there would be over 35 bulls with over 70" of horn tip to tip. In fact there was 35 bulls at the end of 2006. For the 2007 year 62 bulls would stack up in "Club 70". 2008 will mark the shift from 70's to 80's as the 75" mark is being overwhelmed. We predict a huge growth in Club 80 this year and we will see it climb over 10 Longhorns. There is much anticipation as we believe that the first 85" animal will be seen in 2008.

We are working at new ways to display these wonderful animals to make it easier for everyone to keep up with who is measuring up. The standard of just having a magnificent bull is now just that. To be unique you must have a bull that is from a line of 70" plus bulls and cows or is producing a line of 70' plus bulls and cows. Study hard and you will see the evolution of our industry as it leaps into the next generation of super horned Longhorns.
do you have a bull or cow that you think has earned a spot in the "Gallery of Horns" If so Please email The Gallery of Horns.
