CLUB 90 BULLS
On October 6, 2013, a significant chapter in Texas Longhorn history was written when the first Registered Texas Longhorn bull was officially measured at 90 1/8" tip to tip. This monumental achievement made Cowboy Tuff Chex not only the first bull to break the 90-inch barrier, but also the first bull to reach this milestone out of a cow (BL Rio Catchit) that herself measured over 90" tip to tip. This event underscored the rapid pace of progress within the industry. Just the previous year, **BL Rio Catchit** stood alone in her category.
The acceleration of horn growth continued as a testament to selective breeding. By March of 2019, the industry saw the remarkable entry of the first ten bulls to exceed 90" tip to tip. Notably, the one-time world's longest horned bull, Respect Me, achieved this feat at the mature age of 13. His later entry into this exclusive club was influenced by a period where his horn-rubbing habits temporarily outpaced his incredible horn growth.
The **Club 90 Bulls** represent a vital tier of elite Texas Longhorns, showcasing genetics that consistently produce impressive horn length and influence the trajectory of the breed. Their stories highlight not only their individual triumphs but also the dedication of breeders pushing the boundaries of what's possible in horn development.
