Both Registered and Commercial Longhorn Cattle
At Dawson Cattle, we raise both Registered and Commercial Texas Longhorn Cattle in South Texas just North of Corpus Christi.
Back in 2013, our dad, Vance Dawson IV, decided he wanted to purchase a couple Registered Texas Longhorns to place in the front pasture to have as lawn art, not knowing that they would become a big part of his life. Soon, these Longhorns weren't just considered pets or lawn art... Bringing joy into his life they became part of the family.
Although he didn't keep up with all the paperwork on the calves born over the years, most of our Longhorns are registered and have very strong bloodlines such as Tejas Star, Over Kill, VJ Tommie aka Unlimited, Delta Van Horne, and Overwhelmer, just to name a few.
Our father has since passed away in 2021. However, his love of Longhorns still lives on and we hope to make a name in the industry on behalf of our father.
We are currently up to date with TLBAA and Horns, but please check out our Herd here on our website!
Even though we've had Texas Longhorns for the past 10 years, we are just now getting a process in place for the registered. We are ever learning and educating ourselves on the breed and have spent all of 2022 and 2023 cleaning up the herds, bringing in new genetics, getting everyone's papers in place, and really just finding a routine that works and fits best for us as a family.
We work our head twice a year. Dawson Cattle has 2 different herds. One is located in Woodsboro, Texas and the other is in Gregory, Texas.
All of our cattle do come from registered bloodlines but some have gotten lost through the years with not keeping up with papers. This is why we have some commercial head with our registered. We do like to keep these few in our pastures since they have been in the family for quite some time now. Registered or not, they are still amazing mommas and we love them just as much as our registered head if not more!
Few Fun Random Facts:
Texas Longhorn Cattle is one of those breeds that you are continuously learning about. You will find and learn a new random fact about them every day. It's one of my favorite things about the breed though!
The most important thing that I have taken out of all the things I have read, heard, discussed with others so far about is to breed what YOU like.
Here at Dawson Cattle, that is exactly what we do. We breed for a calm docile temperament (this is important to us as most times, it is just one or two of us working them), amazing mothering / milking ability, great calving ease, fertility, color patterns and body composition that we personally like to see on our cows. We go for character when it comes to the horn rather than chasing the tip to tip measurements. I am noticing, however, that I am apparently partial to the ones with the old school handle bar twists.
But at the end of the day, we appreciate most of what the Texas Longhorn is and stands for.
As of 2024, we are starting to dip our toes into the beef industry. We sell both Longhorn Beef and Angus / Hereford cross beef. Perfect selection of lean meat for a healthier plate or if you want that nice marbled, fatty steak, we have that too.
Please check out our Online Store or don't hesitate in contacting us if interested in Beef!
Please check out our sale pen. Pictures are updated and added regularly.
Upon reserving your longhorn, we require a 50% deposit at reservation. The remaining balance will be paid upon pick up or delivery. If wanting cattle delivered, there will be a delivery fee depending on location.
Bull calves can always be steered by request, if not already.
