Cliffhanger Genetics, Registered Texas Longhorns

"They take your breath away"

Welcome to Cliffhanger Genetics!

Located near Sheridan, Wyoming, we have been raising Texas Longhorns for 27 years.

Brett had seen a photo of a longhorn steer in an antique book, when he was a little boy, and had wanted to own longhorns from that time on.

Married in May 1980, the Lord blessed us with 7 unregistered longhorns that fall. We are currently running about 175 head of registered longhorns. Our first registered bulls were a son of Overwhelmer and a son of King.

Brett has longhorn magazines dating back to the 1970's and knows the pedigrees and ancestors back to the beginning of the registry.

Darcy says, "Checking for new calves is like an Easter Egg Hunt! The colors are all so different."

We'd like to share a few of the animals that represent our outfit.
